Please consider making Bard training less expensive in Training Point costs! This is one of the biggest obstacles in enjoyment of the Bard class. Rogues, Wizards and other professions have room for some versatility. Bards? Har har har...


Next, give Bard songs producing weapons like Sonic Longbow or Sonic Handaxe the option of creating a temporary weapon for
adventurers, say number of swings per level plus whatever bonus? 100 or so swing weapon would be pretty cool. Maybe once a
day or twice with the right mana control?

Third, why not give Bards access to both Minor Mental and Minor Elemental limited to one rank of each per spell level? So a Bard
would get Minor Mental rank 1 and learn a spell, then prefers 402 so gets rank 2 of Minor El so therefore the Bard cannot ever get Iron Skin? If it's a thing to have to build up to the spell level for each successive rank, ok but then it would be interesting to have some versatility that way anyhoo. So maybe it costs more to get ranks in each if you are learning from both-- but why limit? Like, why exactly? Too powerful? Maybe if you learn from both you can only ever get 50 ranks of each (or 50 and 51 for max of 101 total). It's a Bard! They have cake and can eat some cake too.

Now-- 1050.

Chorus of Ancient Glories

The Bard summons up spirits from battles of lost ages to inspire them to join in on the song for a boost to power! Eruptions of heroic voices, booming strong and loud with clarity all across the battlefield while the Bard leads the way for victory! Visions of ancient battles will appear all around them in phantom but highly visible forms resulting in distraction and lowering of confidence for the enemies while inspiring heroic deeds for all joined.

2 minutes

The Bard and all joined gain insight and wisdom while joined with the ancient battle bards and all their long passed friends. The party gains a +5 to CS plus a +5 to WIS bonus for the duration of the spell. Bard gains +10 CS for 2 minutes. The weapons of the party swing more true and swifter than before for a -1 Reduction of RT and a chance for the weapon to flare sonically in addition to whatever other properties their weapons may have. Warding spells will be more powerful with the intensity of the Aura generated by the partying ones for a gain of +5 to AUR bonus and a negative of -5 to the generic TD of the enemy. In addition, the foes will be sometimes put in small RT say a few seconds as they are awed by the brilliant display and sound of this incredible show. While the song is in effect the odds for finding loot will increase significantly for those joined while searching.

When sung at an enemy directly it will trigger a massive shock upon a successful ward for the power of the song overwhelms the nervous system completely and quite often will manifest in an instant death from that particular sort of wound. The foe will suffer a -25 TD and the Bard will have a +5 to their CS which will continue to last for 2 minutes. The effect of the ward may spread to successive foes in the area with a chance for success starting at 100% and then reducing by 15% for each successive cast until it reaches 35% where it remains active, so that a cast will definitely effect at least two targets with nerve damage then 85% odds for the third target, 70%, 55%, 40% then 35%. The nerve damage will lessen after the first target but not get less than 75% of its original strength for each target afterward.

60 minute cooldown, 25 stamina, +1 mana for each group member or target effected by massive nerve damage.

Finally, if 1050 is sung to a magical trinket which has enhancive properties, the Bard can temporarily raise the value
of the enhancement by up to +5 total for all enhancive elements combined. The length of time the Bard can achieve for
the enhancement will be determined by their level, skill and knowledge of their spell base with their level of Triumph
which is generated similarly to Wizards and Sorcerers for their pools of magical usage with Ensorcel and Enchant Item.
