I would really like to see this title available to Barbarians as well as Bards. Maybe with some requirement rather than just circle, but Barbs can be poets just as well as poets can be warriors.

I can see why bards would be Warrior Poets but I think it's stretching it to say that barbs have as much backstory or what not to share the title.

They're bards, stop trying to take their shinies and make some of your own.

Well, I wouldn't want to take any thing away from the bards thats why I think there should be a requirement other than just circle sure as music lore or something. I just really like that title, and think it transcends just one guild:)

If any barb has more than a handful of ranks in Music Lore, I would be stunned.

Lightly stunned, but that's enough to take me down.

There is one slight problem and here it is. When the Warrior Mages received one of the new lists there were several barbarian titles included that had adjusted reqs and were slightly altered. Taking of this title changing the reqs or not is no different and I agree with the barbarians that argued against those titles that guild titles should not be stolen by other guilds.

Yeah, but... Music Lore is bard-only, is it not? Or is it called Theory now? I don't even know.

I see what you're saying, but that is between the Barbs and the WM's, for God's sake. Not quite the same thing. Honestly, I think the Bards would be honored as much as Barbs would be right??

What they did was take Barbarian titles and add the word "Arcane" in front of them and added some magic reqs. I dont care one way or another how someone roleplays their title, but I think the best way to go about it is get a custom title similar to Warrior Poet, if possible. I think "War on Poets" would be a fabulous title.

Correct and as I see it the request is worse then what was done. This is a request for a blatant rip from the Bard guild and while I have no problem with joint projects that involve Bards and Barbarians. There needs to be reasons to play a Bard and until there is something that belongs to Bards and only Bards that other guilds desire not even titles should be shared with other guilds.

Skill-based titles are open to everyone. He is asking for Warrior Poet to be a SBT instead of a guild based title.

A lot of Barbarian titles were open to everyone via being placed as SBT. Whether you think that is a good thing or not, is of course your opinion. Just realize what the person's intent is and his intent seems to be as a request for it to be a SBT. If you read the original poster's request, he seems to not want to take anything away from the Bard guild.

All the writing about comparisons between Warrior Mages, Candy Mages or whatever Mages won't help you in this thread because that does not seem to be his reasoning.

Yes, I'm one of "those" barbarians that like to relax and play instruments after a day's a-killing of vipers and swamp trolls.

I see it fitting the bard guild because they focus on music and other lores while also meeting plenty of combat requirements.

The reverse is not true for barbarians which is why I don't see it as something that the barbarian guild should get.

To avoid any confusion that is what he said. He wants it to be a shared title by both Barbarians and Bards with different reqs for each guild, not a general skill based title. Because of this the incident with Barbarians and Warrior Mages is a valid example whether you like it or not. If you want music titles think up some new ones and don't try to steal what is already out there.

How about Poetic Destroyer, or Musical Monster, or Artistic Aggressor?

Meh.

Don't get me wrong, my Barb carries three instruments around and sings. But Barbarians shouldn't have musical titles. Their circle reqs have little to nill in the way of Lore. That's like Moon Mages having weapon titles. Then again, I don't suppose there is anything intrinsically wrong with it. I just don't think the guild would ever reflect musical titles.

I don't think it's so outragous for barbs to have a title or two that requires skill in music. Barbs are one of the few guilds that can see any benifit from training vocals(once upon a time somebody said we could get a slight boost to voice recovery with vocal skill). I think ours should be different from existing bard titles though.

See, I could see Maulem with titles like Beer Singer or Off Key.

Well, there is that. Only bards can learn (and use) music theory. But the little skra has acquired a few ranks of percussion. I kind of figure that would be in-character for a wee lass from Muspar'i- where music would be very important indeed.
