Currently in development. Combines Discord, Peacemaking and Provocation.

Using

Successful skill checks will be done against Intonation whereas effectiveness will be scaled by Musicianship. Intonation requires the off-hand weapon slot free. This allows players to fight with a one-handed weapon, but they will lose parry and shield thus making it harder to introduce Devotion and Precision into a build. Arm and disarm will work, but we do intend to implement a delay between use or a stamina cost that will not be circumvented with Razor.

  • We will work to convert the equipable instrument art to the off-hand so they can appear on the paper doll.

The effectiveness of Bard skills in Sanctuary prior to this change was very poor. It is our intention that this combination should be as effective as Evocation and Evaluating Intelligence is.

Further Design
Musicianship and Intonation are intended to be paired with Mysticism or Deception.

Tunes

I'd like to convert peacemaking, provocation, and discord to using the new targeting system. Here are some thoughts:

  • The fact that none of the skills can figure out which musical instrument to use is annoying. If we don't get actual equipable instruments in place please have it know to use the first instrument found in the main pack.
Discord (Discordant Shout and Song of Discord)
Give it two abilities, direct and AOE. The direct one works on the nexttarget like spells but only applies to that target. The AOE works on the next target but has an area of effect.
Peacemaking (Shout of Peace and Song of Withdrawl)
Same as above. Give it two abilities, direct and AOE. The direct one works on the nexttarget like spells but only applies to that target. The AOE works on the next target but has an area of effect.
Provocation (Battle Cry and War Chant)
Give it two abilities, direct and AOE. The direct targets the mobs currently under nexttarget and then provides a cursor to target the second mob. The AOE targets the current nexttarget but then attempts to provoke as many mobs onto other mobs in area as possible.
Charm Creature
I think its Dryad Allure, lets you charm a creature to be under your command.
