Bard Spellbook

Bards are skalds, minstrels, musicians, and storytellers who bolster other players with their songs and oratory. Bards may use any
non-Black weapon under 6’ in length, may wear armor of no greater than AC 2 and may use a shield of no more than 24” at its
widest point.

Bards augment players with their Bardic Song which may consist of singing, played music or oratory. Music and singing may not rely on modern devices or be delivered in a way to agitate players or disrupt gameplay. If oratory is used it must be approved by an elder as being in character and consistent with good roleplay.

Level 3 Bard Spells

A clever ploy to make it stick

Level 4 Bard Spells

Word of Holding: 150 syllables

When you try to charge me down
I call a word to hold your feet to the ground
It sticks you in place and makes moving real hard

You’ll stay right there
Til I say you can go
Huff and puff all you want
You’ll see that it’s only for show (Repeat three times)

Level 5 Bard Spells

Bardskin: 250 syllables

I’ve walked through nature
for many a year
My Gods all know

I could die to you

Gods hear me now
Please heed my plea
Send me armor strong and true
Armor I know, comes from you (Recite five times)

Level 6 Bard Spells

But weren’t thinking of me and my magical fixes
A few words spoken, some finger wiggles
And that door opens no need to solve riddles (Recite three times)

Level 7 Bard Spells

Legend Lore: 300 syllables

Inside this stump I hear a voice
It tells of the times of choice
Of what came earlier when I didn’t yet seek
What the tree saw, what the forest thinks
An item or artifact here in my hand
Will know tell me it’s secrets, or those of the land (Recite five times)

Cure Disease: 150 syllables

Now you lay before me
Pleading for my aid

Never to grow old (Recite four times)

Level 9 Bard Spells

Vicious Mockery: 100 syllables

Did you know that as you stand
I call you names that if mom heard would get me banned

If you were ice cream you’d be all sticky
You are not fun you are not tall
And when you run I hope you fall (Recite twice)

Dispel Magic: 175 syllables

You think you’ll fry me
Think that I’ll die
But you don’t see what’s happening
Or why I won’t cry
My gods have bestowed me
A gift that’s quite great
One that allows me
To truly negate (Recite five times)
