Bardic skill descriptions needed

[Csatádi]

Many of you wanted to help and I found some missing things. Every faction will have bards and we need descriptions to their 3 skill levels. You may create more levels and more skills, and the circumstances of gaining them.

Example description:
{Divine_Connection}Divine Connection
{Divine_Connection_desc}There is no doubt in this man's mind that God speaks to him directly, and that he must heed his call.
{Divine_Connection_effects_desc}+2 Management

[danova]

Any idea?

.

[smoesville]

Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?

{Strong_Voice}Strong Voice
{Strong_Voice_desc}Whether singing, telling tales or rousing men to action this individuals voice carries through a crowd seemingly without effort.
{Strong_Voice_effects_desc}+1 Influence

[danova]

Thanks smoesville!
Others..?
.

[smoesville]

What are the different attributes that will affect bards? Are they all the same as ordinary characters? Management, influence, loyalty and piety? It's been a while since i've played med2.

[MagUidir]

how are bards going to be used? are they like a replacement for priests?

[GatorMarine1833]

Yes they replace priests, culture replaces religion.

Religion will be represented in traits.

[smoesville]

So since they're priests they have piety and influence, is that right?

[GatorMarine1833]

I think it's just Piety that's displayed, in game Piety is replaced with Acumen as per Britannia campaign

... some eyecandy for bards.
(Saxon bards)

[Peteriscoolz]

Woah...awesome.

[danova]

hehe, thanks mate. This is just last year's stuff...
.

[smoesville]

I assume the larger one is West Saxon?
This is obviously for Christian factions. It might be easier for me if you just gave a list of effects e.g. +2 Influence, +3 Acumen etc. and then i'll make up titles and desc for them? I'm not really sure how the effects affect the game so i have a feeling i'll end up making super powerful skills or completely useless ones.

{Learned}Learned
{Learned_desc}With access to a monastic centre of learning, this man stands above his peers as a beacon of knowledge in a world drowning in superstition.
{Learned_effects_desc}+2 Acumen

[Csatádi]

Thanks.
Bards will spread the factions culture.

At first we need at least 3 levels of a basic bard skill. Don't bother with effects.
Current temporary levels:
1 Inn Musician
2 Talented Bard
3 Famous Bard

Or give just ideas.

[smoesville]

Hope these are any use?

{Journeyman_Bard}Journeyman Bard
{Journeyman_Bard_desc}With a few tales learned and the ability to play a musical instrument, this man has stepped out from his masters shadow in order to make a name for himself throughout the land.

{Accomplished_Bard}Accomplished Bard

[MagUidir]

Some for the Danish and Viking Nations...or even for some of the other

{Rookie_Bard}Rookie Skald/Bard
{Rookie_Bard_desc}When you are laughed at not because your tales are funny but because your lord threw a mutton bone at you and his hounds soon followed.

{Inspiring_Bard}Inspiring Skald/Bard

[smoesville]

As with most things, pretty close is never close enough Though i did see something about being close to a beta test. We can always hope i suppose.
