...all these nifty new titles for Barbarians, I figured I'd post some suggestions for titles for bards. A gal can dream...

Here's a bit of a list, and what I personally think should be required to have them. Of course, my judgment is probably off, since I am dizzy from sleeplessness... it's eight in the morning and I haven't slept since yesterday. Who knows when I'll complete the post!

Because there is really no way to count up who has been a play through the mechanics of the game, who has had a concert, etc.--at least I don't believe there is--I will be using only skills as determinations for who should be able to get what. There are some titles that I believe should have non-mechanical requirements as well.

A snow goblin reaches down and gently pets your corpse, then quickly looks about to make sure no one noticed.

Ooo. Ooo!

How about titles for each of the voice types?

Baritone, Alto, Soprano, etc.

I love all the titles - good ideas!

<<How about titles for each of the voice types?>>

Its stuff like this that makes me slap my head and say "WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT!!! IT'S SO OBVIOUS!!!"

That should be doable quite easily.

It did take this long for a Bard to think of it, too.

Oh, and actually, I think it'd be cool if characters created without last names could use their voice title as a last name, kind of like, oh, I don't know, Aveda Soprano. Yeah, that's got a good ring to it.
