Bards are skalds, minstrels, musicians, and storytellers who bolster other players with their songs and oratory. Bards may use any
non-Black weapon under 6\u2019 in length, may wear armor of no greater than AC 2 and may use a shield of no more than 24\u201d at its
widest point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bards augment players with their Bardic Song which may consist of singing, played music or oratory. Music and singing may not rely on modern devices or be delivered in a way to agitate players or disrupt gameplay. If oratory is used it must be approved by an elder as being in character and consistent with good roleplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too dark to see
I hope a Grue
Does not eat me (Recite twice)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ringing bell above the ground
Not quite mellow, not quite shrill (Recite twice)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 2 Bard Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Look me in the eyes and you shall see
I can hear your heart beating and see your pulse
So unless you are truthful you\u2019ll soon be a corpse (Recite twice)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 3 Bard Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With letters and words that are torn from a crypt
They’re easy to read once you know what you see
All you have to do is translate from one to three (Recite three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A clever ploy to make it stick
I know that it\u2019s here
No it won\u2019t hide from me (Recite three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 4 Bard Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I call a word to hold your feet to the ground
It sticks you in place and makes moving real hard
And thanks to my god won\u2019t let you blowhard
You\u2019ll stay right there
Til I say you can go
Huff and puff all you want
You\u2019ll see that it\u2019s only for show (Repeat three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 5 Bard Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
for many a year
My Gods all know
that i\u2019m still here<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it\u2019s quite true
That without it
I could die to you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please heed my plea
Send me armor strong and true
Armor I know, comes from you (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 6 Bard Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
But weren’t thinking of me and my magical fixes
A few words spoken, some finger wiggles
And that door opens no need to solve riddles (Recite three times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 7 Bard Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It tells of the times of choice
Of what came earlier when I didn’t yet seek
What the tree saw, what the forest thinks
An item or artifact here in my hand
Will know tell me it’s secrets, or those of the land (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pleading for my aid
You have leprosy
But you want to keep your leg<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell him to release his hold
Else you\u2019ll get quite sickly
Never to grow old (Recite four times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLevel 8 Bard Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Level 9 Bard Spells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I call you names that if mom heard would get me banned
You’re small and strange and mean and icky
If you were ice cream you’d be all sticky
You are not fun you are not tall
And when you run I hope you fall (Recite twice)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think that I\u2019ll die
But you don\u2019t see what\u2019s happening
Or why I won\u2019t cry
My gods have bestowed me
A gift that\u2019s quite great
One that allows me
To truly negate (Recite five times)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
