Bard

Description

You are a singing herald, erudite lorekeeper, or deft street performer. Your talent in the fine arts is so great that it verges on magic, and people are drawn to you from far and wide. You have access to spells and your starting MP is Deft + Mighty.

Technique

Choose an art: singing, dancing, or playing. You may choose to make the duration of any spell you cast indefinite, as long as you are performing your art (the duration of your spell is 0 as opposed to a number of rounds equal to your level plus the MP you spend). You may concentrate on a number of spells in this way equal to your level, but you may not attack while performing your art. Your art must make noise audible to all in the encounter to work. You may use Performance in lieu of any Arcana skill with your maleficence or spell checks.
