Looking back...

So they finally got it done, the new music system I've been waiting 5+ years for... is nearly complete. I'm happy for them, and for any bards that remain, maybe I'll come back after the dust has settled on that, or maybe the week it's released.

-Sircha

So what's new? Other than playing a bard in stormreach not much... but a few enchantes/abilities were inspired from there. Oh and guys, I've decided to change my name. Please refer to me as Syrcha from now on.

These are all proposed ideas.

Story ideas: Enchante's Domain was once commonly used, but also was lost until recently an old elven bard mage came out of hiding to reveal it to the reformed Bard's guild. This old elven bard will teach spells to all young bards who wish to learn.

Enchante's Domain 1-10 - an enchante that when taken gives a bard access to a tier of specifically created Bard spells, the number of spells a bard can learn is based on their charisma. Each time Enchante's Domain is chosen upon leveling, a bard gains another tier of spells to choose from.

Bard's Rulebook 1-10 - an enchante that when taken gives the bard access to a set of feats specifically made for bards. Each time Bard's rulebook is chosen in place of an enchante, this gives the bard access to a number of feats that were unavailable before.



Bard Spell list
Tier 0 The Cantrips all bards learn
AerialBand - Creates a temporary musical instrument of the Bard's specification out of aether. Can be simple or complex depending on skill of the Bard.
Cosmetics - Allows a bard to make slight cosmetic and temporary changes to their appearance. A bard can add gems to their hair, skin, and various facial body parts. Lasts 1hr. permanently destroys gems/tiny items that are added. I almost see this as a major system.
Light - A bard can cast light on any object they are holding or wearing. Lasts 1 hr.
Ice droplets - Freezes small beads of water around the bard into little ice droplets which can then be collected for 1 water. Instantaneous. Should tie into alchemy with the water.
Syrcha's Minor Magical repairs - this spell instantly effects minor repairs on an object by healing 1 dmg point on it.
Pheathers & Roses - Upon choosing the spell the bard decides on either feathers or roses. Summons a permanent feather or rose to the bard. Random feathers/roses are summoned. If bard's hands happen to be full at time of summoning, then the feathers/roses of the random type will shower around the bard.
Alarm mental - You magically ward an area, if any creature tresspasses through it, a jingling occures in your mind.
