    I genuinely am intrigued, since it'll be a -return- of the class.. and Bard has always been one of the two classes Aetolians have been like "LEMME GET THIS BACK PLZ!!1!!" right up there with..ahem. -jesters-. But I am definitely pleased by the news.

    Can we possibly get a preview of what the skill sets look like?

    I like the explanation for the Bard class, and I like its ties to Djeir and the Theatre of Shadows. Killing the Ash'aji cousins and miring us all into the politics of the Undercity... maybe the gifts from Djeir to each city will play some role in the end?!

    Skillset names sound cool. But oh my god, bards, really?

    I am literally losing my mind over this omfg. With Lena's backstory being someone raised in the Theatre (then hopping into the Moreith) this ties in SO WELL I COULD CRY. Will absolutely be tying this into her RP wholesale.

    AND BARDS. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    PRETTY PLEASE MINOR SKILL SPOILERS ON THE THREAD.

    That is all.

    I love, love, love it! The bloody prelude just made me even more excited!

    Performance sounds like it has everything I want out of a Bard archetype... the real questions I have:

    1. What will Songcalling look like in teams?
    2. What the HECK is Weaving?


    Holy crap I'm so excited.

    Songweaving makes me think we'll finally have use for our venture or luthier talents, and the ability to create our own song lyrics. This is spurring the urge to describe instruments in me, a lot.

    I have already imagined way too many falchion ideas for my character.

    Really, really interested to hear the lore behind the Ensemble and see what stories they immortalize.

    I read this post way too fast, and thought you were "imagining way too many fashion ideas" for your character.

    It didn't help that the next keyword was Ensemble, which only made me double down on it.
    Give me feedback!

    Like the idea but can there be a better way for the Mythics ability to grant consent beyond mutual ally? We have to use mutual ally for a lot of things, unallying/allying is already kind of tedious as it is, and I don't really feel like opening my character up for shenanigans. There should be an active check, or a different way of granting consent for this.
    Give me feedback!

    I think the Watcheyes power from Antiquated Ring would be a good template to borrow for that skill's permission/agreement.

    Love the concept! Real excited to see more.

    Random Bard thoughts for today:

    I wonder what else Weaving can make? Props to perform with, maybe? It would make sense. Also, w/ the arachnid stuff in Djeirani lore, maybe making nets or webs or other hindering? Tripwires/traps? Possibilities are endless!

    Also, I wonder how much weapon stats will matter for sword stuff?

    It would be S U P E R C O O L if we could use facsimile and design our own chairs, etc. Just like a regular crafting design going through the mortal crafters queue with everyone having been informed of the limitations of the skill.
