[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 3035412, member: 20323"] We had a bard from an animistic tribal culture in a game that invoked spirits of his faith for succor ("Creatrix Tuara do not abandon us now!"). It had a very epic feel and didn't require great eulogizing, just the ability to make it sound mythic and a solid knowledge of his faith. Two ideas for Perform (Oratory). I've always liked the idea of a storytelling bard who relates short anecdotes from legend to inspire. Another idea is the proverbial bard who uses pertinent proverbs to inspire. I've always thought it would be fun to play a bard whose musical abilities come from something like dance (perhaps they enter ecstatic trances like a Sufi dervish?) or acting (a wisecracking bard who uses Perform (comedy) to inspire?). A nice touch would be to spend a few minutes between every other game to compose a ditty, poem, limerick, or joke about the party's recent adventures. [/QUOTE]
