Control, songs and group support
How It Plays
Use musical control against monsters and Bard Codex songs to support your group. Multiple copies of one song use the strongest valid effect.
Skill Distribution
These values use exactly 720 points from the shared 720-point skill cap.
| Skill | Target | Why it belongs |
|---|---|---|
| Musicianship | 120 | Makes musical techniques reliable. |
| Discordance | 120 | Weakens eligible monsters and scales Bard power. |
| Peacemaking | 120 | Calms eligible targets and scales Bard power. |
| Provocation | 120 | Turns eligible monsters against each other and scales Bard power. |
| Healing | 100 | Provides bandage recovery. |
| Anatomy | 100 | Strengthens the bandage treatment. |
| Magery | 40 | Provides modest travel and field utility, not damage-mage output. |
Books & Equipment
Musical instrument and Bard Codex. All four barding skills at 120 require Power Scrolls; bandages support personal recovery.
Important Rules · Caps and Progression
Training above 100 still uses points from the same 720. A matching Power Scroll raises an eligible individual skill ceiling; it grants no trained points and adds no room to the shared total.
Trained Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence share a separate 250-point limit. Requirements for books, abilities and equipment still apply when a listed skill reaches its target.
Native Necromancy is unavailable. Arcanism has its own progression and Arcane Spellbook, and its points count toward 720.
