BARD (thief subclass) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bards are an interesting group. They are essentially a melding of fighters, thieves, and song masters. While adept at the skills of both fighter and thief, a bards primary power is derived from offensive and defensive "songs." The bard goes through rigorous training to learn how to use words, melody and counter melody to affect changes in their environment. Bards can use their songs to hurt, to charm and to inspire as well as to understand the nature of objects. As a hybrid of classes, a bard has the benefit of both fighter and thief abilities, but does not possess the full range, nor the full strength of the abilities of a true member of either class. The bard is a charismatic and joyous adventurer. He is known throughout the lands for regailing all of his journies. As such, many shopkeepers will reward the bard by paying a higher than usual price for the bard's goods. The shopkeeper may do this to assist the bard in further adventuring and in hopes of the bard returning with more glorious tales. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bards have the following skills: equipment staff toughness awareness resistance disarm bow dagger sword axe singing combat spear mace flail sleight ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bards have the following songs: charm fear quell inspire lore dirge ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bard stats: Strength : 75 Dexterity : 125 Intelligence : 125 Constitution : 75 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated 07-17-02 (Winterwolf)
