Your wrathful words cause physical harm to your enemies. Your enemies take 1d8 points of Damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) and are staggered for 1 round. Half of this Damage is sonic Damage, but the other half results directly from Divine Power and is therefore not subject to being reduced by Resistance to sonic-based attacks. Rebuke is especially devastating to foes who worship your god, inflicting 1d6 points of Damage per Caster Level (maximum 10d6) and stunning them for 1d4 rounds. A successful Fortitude save halves the Damage and negates the staggering or stunning effect.

Enemies do not need to hear a Rebuke to be harmed by it, but it is negated by magical Silence.
