Bards!!!

I was thinking about bards and how they have low PK possibility and how they fascinate people.

And thought why don't we have more things that makes bards life more easy.

1: Fascinate: (aka Extort) A skill that works like DK's extort and allows you to fascinate the shop keepers into giving stuff for free.

2: Staves: Bards have Scrolls and Wands. But not Staves.

This sucks. Wands serve mostly for geting Sanctuary (Ankh) and the Floating Wand (flight). All the cool stuff is always in Staves which are accessible to Ninjas,Paladins,Monks,Rangers,Mages,Clerics.

Things like Bless, cure critical, Huge Flight, Detect magic, Sanctuary, etc.

3: A cool, Bard only weapon. Something like a sword that can only be used by bards, and that does unique stuff.

Like the Practice sword that talks to us.

4:Expands song selection.

Bards used to have pretty cool songs. Like the one that made people follow you. And the other one that made people dance like the Devil.

Bard songs should be partially selectable.

5: Fix Analize: So that it allows mobs above 50, does not agro. And show the Score sheet if use on PC's.

6: Detect Magic. This would be so nice.

Helmsley and Jarl would have been so OP with detect magic and staves. :3

They were both Dwarves. Magic resist races with high STR.

There are many other races, that would never get their record.

I see #1 as something that could go to neutral aligned bards. Bards have a song that makes their haggle better than anyone but a Dark Knights. I'm just having a hard time seeing WHY they would need it. Gold farming isn't too rough and with haggle mastered, plus the song, they're already living the fat life. Fat paid, baby.

I'm not even touching #2 on your list. F that. They can join Herald if they want staves.

I like #3, but let's make it a spell. The bard can create their own weapon/instrument. Why? Because everyone knows that a bass is an axe.

As for #4, again, I really don't have an opinion.

But from #5 I like that the bard could see the score sheet of another player. But only if in PK range. It could show what a score sheet on a decked character looked like. A Merchant Bard could sell some nice information seeing a score sheet...hehe.

#6, I guess I just don't see the point. I'd rather have detect hidden on a bard.

Helmsley and Jarl would have been so OP with detect magic and staves. :3

Detect magic is readily and very easily available to everyone.

And you sir, fail.

I disagree. I think you need to learn a few more consumables

/facepalm...

I put glue in your hand right before you did that.

I fully dont know what you're getting at.

No worries, noone does.

I like the suggestions.

I'm not sure if you have had some special skill in your repository, since analyze does not agro.

Wow.

!. Really? I would be happy if they just fixed "Let it be Known". My last bard would pay 90-95% of total cost with haggle at 100% and the song affecting me.

1. Staves would only make things easy for the bard. All of those buffs can be aquired through consumables and scrolls. Why not just give them preserve?

2. A "Singing Sword"? Awesome Idea Mya, maybe make it a less potent version of a ranger staff. Can be used to create sword, dagger, mace, or staff.

3. I also would like to see more songs added so that we could path the songs for lack of a better word.

4. I think analyze should add a small bonus to hit and/or damage.

5. The bound scroll.

I agree that I've had similar experience. Mastered haggle works worse when song is affecting. When purchasing, haggle itself may hit in more often, but the amount of haggled price is a lot higher, eventually making the song more harmful than useful when buying expensive product in quantity.

1. I think analyze should add a small bonus to hit and/or damage.

Current effect is nice. It just sucks that you cannot analyze mobs above level 50 even with mastered analyze. Plus there's mobs you don't seem to be able to analyze, regardless they're level below 50.

1. The bound scroll.

Really you dare sugest this when I could have this!!!

Object 'staff' is type staff, material bone.

Extra flags: glow hum.

Weight is 1, value is 10, level is 10.

Has 10 charges of level 20 'detect magic'.

PS: Now really. Good idea on the bound scroll. I completely forgot it, and now with pick it's even more easy.

Also, Analise did agro last time i had a bard with analise...

Please. Analyze. Or my autopsy report will conclude my death as a severe case of the giggles.
