Bard guild members learn how to produce magical effects through song, instead of through mana. Bards spend their life traveling around learning the lores and historical stories of the lands. Based off these stories, they sing songs that are spoken from the heart and work their magic through music. Bard songs can have various effects from better regen, more wisdom, more strength, and more charisma.
============================================================================== Help on skill : Disillusionment Guild Level : Gamma Skill type : Miscellaneous Ep Cost : 146 Using time : 4 rounds Affecting stats : cha, wis Base Experience Cost : 1176 ============================================================================== A bard's livelihood is being larger than life and allowing the glamour of hyperbole to worm its way into the hearts of those who would listen. This is how they are able to not just encourage the potential in others, but also in themselves. This requires no small amount of focused perception on the part of the bard, who must constantly believe their own hype. That being said, there are times when a bard must settle into a sense of reality for a time, and to do this, they need to be able to disillusion themselves and come to terms with their own true nature. This disillusionment has the unique result of removing the the effects of any bard-based augmentations. ============================================================================== Created By : Vor ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on skill : Storytelling Guild Level : Gamma Skill type : Mastery Base Experience Cost : 1142 ============================================================================== The master storyteller can make a story or song real to the listeners, making the effect more dramatic or giving it a longer-lasting impression.

When this song is well sung it makes the skills of the street shine through. ============================================================================== Created By : Pavilion ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on skill : Legend of arabidopsis Guild Level : Gamma Skill type : Protection Protection category : General Average duration : Incredible Number of stacks : 1 Sp Cost : 104 Ep Cost : 104 Using time : 3 rounds Affecting skills : please audience, storytelling Affecting stats : cha, wis Base Experience Cost : 604 ============================================================================== The stories say that Arabidopsis of Stone Hedge was a young mage, specializing in the arts of alchemy.

This is the legend... ============================================================================== Created By : Pavilion ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on skill : Demoralize Guild Level : Gamma Skill type : Miscellaneous Ep Cost : 146 Using time : 4 rounds Affecting stats : cha, wis Base Experience Cost : 1176 ============================================================================== Bards learn a lot of lessons in their travels, and none is quite so important to master as a well timed disillusioning. Filling people with compliments and stories that motivate them to do better is almost always in the best interest of a bard, but there are times when it becomes somewhat necessary for people to look at the world with a sense of reality. However, it is not easy to master the art of demoralizing someone without seriously and hurtfully insulting them, which would only anger them and make the bard look like a jerk. Thus, it is rather important that the bard not fail to be sincere and calm. A proper demoralization sounds like nothing more than a painful truth expressed in a caring tone to a good friend. It is worth nothing that demoralization is always more successful when it is done by a friend of the person being demoralized. It is important to note that while this skill will allow you to disillusion people, it's not very effective at demoralizing people beyond that point; bards are, afterall, motivational speakers at the end of the day, and purposefully making people feel bad about themselves is simply not in the job description. ============================================================================== Created By : Vor ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on skill : Grithmals chant Guild Level : Gamma Skill type : Protection Protection category : General Average duration : Incredible Number of stacks : 1 Sp Cost : 104 Ep Cost : 104 Using time : 3 rounds Affecting skills : please audience, storytelling Affecting stats : cha, wis Base Experience Cost : 604 ============================================================================== Many stories have been weaved about Grithmal the Minotaur.
