[QUOTE="Ghaerdon Fain, post: 4189650, member: 62976"] Yes I've been convinced... a Bard has a place in my game. S/he will be an NPC though and will have the same skills as Robin's Bard in The Holy Grail: the Bard will have a great At Will Power: Pathetic Encouragement. The -4 Attack song goes like this... [I]"Bravely bold __insert name of player here__ rode forth from Camelot He was not afraid to die, O brave ___ ______ He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways Brave, brave, brave, brave ___ _______ He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave ___ _______ His head smashed in and his heart cut out And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off and his pen^$... He is brave ___ _______, Brave ___ ______ ran away Bravely, ran away...away... When danger reared its ugly head He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, brave ___ _____ turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave, ___ _______ [ later ] He is packing it in and packing it up And sneaking away and buggering off And chickening out and pissing off home, Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge.""[/I] [/QUOTE]
