Across the world, bards are considered to be
jacks-of-all-trades, but sometimes they find themselves hard-pressed to
be effective warriors. As a result, a few bards seek out The Society of
the Edge, a group of like-minded individuals who desire to be able to
fare better in the heat of combat. Members of the Society of the Edge
are taught many abilities that are well-suited to battle. However,
bards are also artistically-minded individuals, and thus study under
the Society does not stop at combat training. Following the traditions
of warrior bards of times past, Minstrels of the Edge learn many
musical pieces which can affect the abilities and moods of their allies
and enemies alike.

Light Armor Spellcasting: The Minstrel of the Edge does not suffer
from arcane spell failure when wearing light armor. However, arcane
spell failure from medium or heavy armor or shields still applies.
Minstrel Song: Starting at level 2 and every two levels thereafter,
the Minstrel of the Edge can learn a Minstrel Song. These songs are
performed much like Bard Songs, but have different effects. Minstrel
Songs count as Bard Songs in terms of uses per day. Only one Minstrel
Song can be performed at a time. However, a Minstrel can have three
song effects at a time: one Minstrel Song, one Bard Song, and one Curse
Song.
- Tier 1 Minstrel Songs: Milathur's Lullaby (sleep), Quiet Melody
(silence), Aegis Melody (+shield AC), Hymn of the Bull (+Str), Hymn of
the Cat (+Dex), Hymn of the Bear (+Con), Hymn of the Fox (+Int), Hymn
of the Owl (+Wis), Hymn of the Eagle (+Cha)
- Tier 2 Minstrel Songs: Requiem of the Resonant Blade (+sonic
damage to attacks), Milathur's Sluggish Rhapsody (slow), Blinari's
Alluring Ballad (charm [monster]), Blinari's Reverberant Defense
(wounding whispers), Song of Alacrity (haste), Song of Valor (immunity
to fear)
Greater Minstrel Song: The Minstrel of the Edge has become even
more proficient at mixing the musical phrases in his songs. This is
done by fusing multiple themes into the Bardic music the Minstrel can
sing a song that inspires courage in allies and also lulls enemies to
sleep. The Minstrel can now perform up to two Minstrel Songs at a time,
in addition to his Bard Song and Curse Song.
BARD SONG

to their Bard Level when determining the power of their Bard
Song. |
