BARD
Proficient in unarmed, blunt & bladed weapons
(See [Combat Rules] for weapon info)
Class Abilities:
Spells: All Bards can cast spells off the Bard spell list (Arcane Magic). They all must cast using a verbal, or musical component (Singing, reciting poetry, dancing, playing an instrument). The spellbook is the spells your class can use. You decide the flavor of casting and whether to learn each spell over time or know them all as an expert spellcaster from the start.
See the Combat Rules page for how casting works!
Bardic Knowledge (Passive): The bard will have more notable information about notable locations, people, legendary items, histories and legends. It doesn't hurt to ask a fellow player if their character is well known when meeting them for the first time!
Fascinate: At Will, A bard may roll to use their music, dance or poetry to fascinate a person or group of people for one round. A successful roll for fascination will cause all people under the influence to pay attention to the bard. (Only people in a 20m maximum radius from the bard can be affected by fascination.)
Suggestion: After fascinating a subject or group of subjects, the bard can roll to make a suggestion to their audience. If successful, subjects will have to perform the desired suggestion (will not work on suggestions of self harm) Suggestion may only work on a subject that is in the middle of being fascinated. (Meaning if you successfully fascinate a subject, your next action must be suggestion if you want to use it or you will have to fascinate again)
