→The Solution
Speaking a creature's personal truename increases the DC of the truespeak check by 2. You gain a +4 competence bonus on truespeak checks for saying your own personal truename.
Lastly, of course, is pronouncing the truename of a creature or object, a key function to the workings of truespeech-using classes. ''The DC for a truespeak check is DC 11 + the creature's CR (0 for objects).'' You must pronounce a creature or object's truename (common or personal) to affect it properly with a [[Truenamer, Rebuild (3.5e Class)|truenamer's]] utterances. More importantly, the former Law of Resistance and Law of Sequence are discarded, replaced by the Law of Echoes Instances and the Law of Chorus.
==== Law of Echoes Instances ====
When you use an utterance successfully, you must wait for the universe to stop echoing with power before using can only have one instance of the same utterance again (you may, however, use active at a completely different utterance). The cooldown time is equal to the 1 + the level of the utterance. ''For every 5 points you exceed the truespeak DC for your an utteranceof instantaneous, the cooldown time this is reduced by 1 round, to a minimum non-issue. However utterances with durations other than Permanent will have the previous instance of 1 round'' (so it can be used every other turn)an utterance expire when a new instance comes into play elsewhere. ThusFor example, you can use an utterance on summon a pack of 3 fire elementals via ''[[SRD:Dark NagaBind Spirit (3.5e Utterance)|dark nagabind spirit]] (CR 8, so DC 19)'', and but if you get a result of a 30, you can reduce the cost by 2 rounds (minimum 1). None of this "unable subsequently try to cast for summon another creature via ''bind spirit'' the next 24 hours" businessfire elemental summoning is dismissed.
==== Law of Chorus ====
Most utterances only affect a single target. For these single target utterances, you can choose to raise the DC of the truespeak check by twice the utterance level (so a 2nd level utterance is a +4 increase). For every increase you make, you can target another creature with an equal or lower truespeak DC in range of your utterance, to a maximum equal to your character level.
Using the Law of Chorus is an effective way of breaching the Law of Instances, as all targets are subject to the same instance of an utterance.
