Weapons/Armour: All martial weapons, light and medium armour. Spells: As Bard, including the ability to ignore ASF in light armour Rapt Ardour (Ex): A Skald can enter a state of Ardour. In a fit of Ardour, a skald temporarily gains a +4 to Strength and Charisma and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but she takes a -2 penalty to AC. At the end of the Ardour, she becomes fatigued. It is impossible to stoke up one's Ardour while in a fit of Euphoria, though Ardour and Rage can mix. Skald's Battlecry: As Bardic Music except for that the Skald is not able to extend the effect through concentration and so always has a 5 round (or 10 with Lingering Cry) duration. Cries with similar names to Bard songs are the same as those songs. Countercry: As Countersong Cry of Courage: As Inspire Courage Skaldic Lore: As Bardic Lore Illiteracy: As the Barbarian ability Shout of the Master: As Inspire Competence Stoke Passion: As a standard action, a Skald in Ardour can expend a use of Skald's Battlecry to stoke the passions of her allies to new heights, or ignite the fiery emotions stirring within her breast to create something truly spectacular. Even if a single target has multiple effects and/or multiple Skald allies, only one use of Stoke Passion can effect the same target at any one time. Choose one of the following effects-- *If the target is under the effect of a Warcry, increase all morale bonuses granted by +1 *If the target is under the effect of Rage, Euphoria, Ardour, or any similar effect, choose one of those effects. All bonuses granted increase by +1, except stat bonuses, which increase by +2. *If you are using this ability on yourself and you are currently affected by both a Skald's Battlecry and Ardour at the same time, end both effects and expend another daily use of Ardour to gain a unique effect. If you have access to a higher Ardour, you may choose to gain a lower effect by using a different Warcry. While under the effects of these Ardours, you count as being under the effect of both a Warcry and Ardour, so you cannot use either on yourself. -Rapt Ardour (or higher) + Cry of Courage = Kyrivale's Ardour +4 Dex, +4 Cha, Gain One Extra Attack on Full Attack, Grow wings that grant Fly Speed of double base land speed -Hero's Ardour (or higher) + Call to Greatness = Jotun's Ardour +8 Strength, +4 Con, -2 Dex, +4 enhancement bonus to Natural Armour, DR 10/Nivshaln, Grow to Size Large or Huge (your choice) -Empyreal Ardour + Chant of Heroes = Ragnarok's Ardour +6 to all stats, no death from HP damage until end of Ardour, DR 20/Epic, SR 10+class level, Divine Bonus equal to your Cha bonus to AC Invincible Ardour: While in Ardour, a Skald can shrug off some of her wounds as if they were nothing. Every time she is struck while in Ardour, the Skald ignores an amount of damage equal to her Charisma bonus for a number of rounds equal to her Skald level divided by 4 (rounded down). At the end of this time, the damage applies as normal. Elicit Emotion: The Skald is a master of emotions and can provoke any emotion she chooses in others. With a use of her Skald's Battlecry (though it need not be done with a Battlecry), a Skald can infuse any one target who witnesses her perform with any emotion of her choice against a target of her choice. This ability doesn't work when the target is distracted, perhaps due to combat. The target receives a saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 Skald level + Cha bonus) to resist this effect. Otherwise, the effect lasts 1 hour per Skald level Call to Greatness: As Inspire Greatness Hero's Ardour: The bonuses from Ardour increase to +6 and +3, respectively. Inspire Ardour: The Skald can spend a Skald's Battlecry to inspire a fit of Ardour in a single ally. This is the basic Rapt Ardour with none of the other benefits. Insurmountable Ardour: The Skald's Ardour is ingrained so deeply in her psyche and her soul that there is room for nothing else. While in Ardour, the Skald is immune to all other emotional, charm, and morale effects unless she chooses to embrace the effect. Chant of Heroes: As Inspire Heroics Incite Emotional Surge: As Elicit Emotion, except that the Skald can target one creature per Skald level per Battlecry use spent (multiple uses can be spent on a single attempt to affect many targets) OR the Skald can target a single creature and increase the duration to one day per Skald level per Battlecry use spent (again, multiple uses can be spent to gain a longer duration). Inspire Ardour, Mass: As Inspire Ardour, except it can affect up to one target per 3 Skald levels Empyreal Ardour: The bonuses from Ardour increase to +8 and +4, respectively.[/CODE] [/QUOTE]
