[QUOTE="bloodymage, post: 179191, member: 4381"] For everyone's perusal, bards IMC: Bards: Bards start with 6 skill points at 1st level. Progression is normal thereafter. Bards cast spells based on their repertoire. Every spell is actually an artistic composition. At 1st level, a bard knows 2d4 + CH bonus of 1st level compositions. Bards "collect" compositions (they do not automatically gain them), though powerful bards may create their own magical performances. Every bardic level allows the bard to perform any composition he knows to magical effect 1 time + CH bonus. If a 2nd level bard has a 17 CH he can perform any of the compositions he knows to magical effect 5 times. Success requires a Perform skill check. A bard may attempt a performance beyond his expertise (assuming he has acquired a higher level composition) at a + DC 4/level over penalty. In addition to magical compositions, a bard may use his artistic skill to inspire others with essentially no limit.
