Generic (Totally orginal) Fantasy roleplay. Part two!

[GreenDay]

They should be the main campaign villiain, or at least an important villain. I have an idea, everyone has an arch-nemesis, each one one of the main campaign villains.

[neogenetica]

Indeed. While they have to obey you offerings will make them want to obey you. Not to mention that given enough time they can make dozens of major demon summoning talismans.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I don't think I could make a nemesis...

[GreenDay]

Someone you knew who was a bully, but had disappeared and reportedly died, but had actually made a pact with evil beings to become ultimately powerful?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That's way too generic....

[Zaleramancer]

Bob the ogre?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Why?

[Zaleramancer]

Why not?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

We have no reason to be enemies...

[Zaleramancer]

You stepped on Bob's pet ant, Anty.

He will not rest until his dear pet has been avenged.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

If I want an enemy, I'll think of my own....

[Zaleramancer]

Very well.

[Zaleramancer]

Trying to make a Bard class.

I'm hoping the formatting will be interesting.

[Philote]

Bard should be fun.

This is will be a Fun/Interesting RP it looks.

Bards are wandering musicians famed for both their nearly magical songs and immense persuasive abilities.

Skills

Musical Aptitude

Bards are naturally skilled at the use of musical instruments or singing.

Charm

The bard may attempt to make a person more friendly to them. Usable three times a day, increasing by one use every two levels.

Illusion Crafting

A bard can create simple illusions with this skill. They may only affect one sense at level seven, two at level nine and three at level twelve. At level sixteen, they can affect all senses.

Inspire Awe

Channeling their persuasive abilities, a bard can cause fear and awe rather than respect. This consumes one use of Charm.

Echo

A meta-song ability. This allows the affects of a bard's song (See below) to linger for one minute after the bard ceases to sing.

Enthrall

An advanced form of Charm, this ability requires a successful check of the bard's charisma vs the targets wisdom. If the bard is successful, they may control the actions of the target for as long as they remain within vocal range. Requires the target to understand and hear the bard. Consumes one inspiration point and two uses of charm.

Many Voices

A meta-song ability. This allows a bard to sing two songs at once.

Songs

Bardic songs are semi-magical abilities possessed by a bard. Unless otherwise stated, most bardic songs require the bard to be able to sing or play an instrument. A bardic song affects any target that may hear the bard, unless the bard chooses otherwise. All bardic songs continue for as long as the bard continues to sing them. Barring the Many Voices skill, no bard may sing more than one song at once.

Anthem of Vigilance

This song boosts dexterity. Dexterity measures hand-eye coordination, agility, reflexes, and balance. Increases resistance to slow, paralyses and restraining effects. Consumes two Inspiration Points.

Heavy Metal

[Zaleramancer]

Done!

Comments are welcome.

Also, **** that took forever.

[Philote]

It looks more professional than mine.

Now to actually read it.

[Zaleramancer]

The table contains what level you get the skills/songs at.

I separated them merely for convince of organizing them.

[Philote]

Still looks more professional with the stats and consuming charm points thing.

I just want to point out that you wouldn't have any combat skill until level 14 that doesn't involve aiding allies.

[Zaleramancer]

True, but I wanted them to be a support class.

I'd have to shuffle around abilities to get more combat..
