Squeaking Floors
A surface affected by squeaking floors squeaks
loudly when any creature larger than a normal
rat (larger than one-half cubic foot or weighing
more than three pounds) steps on it or touches it.
The spell affects a square whose sides equal the
caster's level times 10 feet (a 9th-level priest could
affect a square whose sides are 90 feet long).
The squeaks can be heard in a 100-foot radius,
regardless of interposing barriers such as walls
and doors. The squeaks occur regardless of the
surface, whether wood, stone, dirt, or any other
solid material. Listeners automatically know the
direction of the sounds.
Characters who successfully move silently reduce the radius of the noise to 50 feet. Those able
to fly or otherwise avoid direct contact with the
affected surface will not activate the squeaking
floor.
