[QUOTE="Narrator, post: 676181, member: 10027"] [b]A bardic note[/b] Oh and another thing. I think I already told you this but it's worth repeating as a reminder. If you've read stuff like that, feel free to use it in game. The GH Wars are current history and even ancient history, assuming you're not a dunce, is basic knowledge of a character through stories and legends and myths. If you need to recall something specific, THEN it's a bardic knowledge or knowledge check. But as a bard you can, at any time, use the stories that are contained within GH flavour text write-ups. In fact, I encourage it. As long as you put it in the context of a story or a poem or a song relating to the legend/myth or whatever, I'm cool with it. The best example I can think of is Osson's Raid. If you feel you can use stuff like that as a bard character, do so. For instance, you could say stuff like, "This is a trap. I feel like Osson when he was rounded up by the Herzog's forces and made to traverse the Saltmarsh!" or in a more useful instance, "I remember the tale of Osson, a hero who fell in the wars, he double-backed along his path to confuse his pursuers, maybe we could try that?" These are only poorly thought out examples but I'm sure you get the gist. And feel free to make stuff up, too. A story is, after all, a story and most are embellished in each telling until they become little more than a story that was once based on a fact :) Lastly, I ask that you don't consider anything written as being exactly how it will be in my game. Some things will be, some things won't be. In other words, consider anything written in canon to be heresay, rumour and story :) [/QUOTE]
