Bluff Sidestep
Using the expertice of misleading poise, a Bard will draw the opponent into believing he/she will move one way. In that moment of distraction, the Bard will make a fierce dashing sidestep to the opposite, positioning him/herself in a well suited position behind the opponent.

Direct Din
The scream of a Bard should be a truely terrible thing. This particular scream will be a direct and forceful scream, with no tricks--just the bare bones of a pure sonic sound wave. The scream will target the opponent's entire body and will ignore all forms of armor(though armor too may become damaged) in regards to damage done. Damage is based on vocal skill, and the ranges are...

Ranks	Damage
0 - 99	Poor
100 - 199	Low
200 - 299	Fair
300 - 399	Moderate
400 - 499	Heavy
500 - 599	Great
600 - 699	Severe
700 - 799	Bone Crushing
800 - 999	Devastating
1000 - 2000	God-Like

The one who is obsessed with power.. and who still has a long way to go.

Yeah, I really agree we need a way to alter the facing situation (besides piercing whistle which just disengages everyone). Maybe a bit of a lingering effect would be nice on your idea since it could easily be countered by a player character with a "face bard" macro.

You don't see any of those lying around.

Gil and I are pretty close in circles and stats.
Nynie is quite a bit lower(34 circles lower with lower charisma and disc). Would be nice to at least effect some one lower then me. They wince and I get a longer stun then they do.

>>And have it easly affect somone 15 circles higher than them as I know other folks abilities do. Kleis

With full mojo and bluff amaze:

You throw your head back, uttering a defiant scream that wells up from deep within your soul. You can feel your vocal cords strain beyond their normal limits as waves of pure sound plow through the area.

Gilvore winces slightly at the sound, clutching one hand to his head.
Nynie winces slightly at the sound, clutching one hand to her head.

Gilvore says, "5 second stun"

You stop performing the Merelew's Legacy enchante since your voice is gone!
The cool, damp feeling to the air around you slowly fades.
You try to speak, but your throat feels too strained.

~~Maybe instead of saying 'fog' everyone can say, "I suffered a small stroke, did anyone else?" Rayje

"I have to say in my opinion I think if its that damaging to your vocal chords after screaming it really should be a hell of a lot more damaging to an opponent. If thats not possible then the vocal chord damage aught to be less than it is or it should be incremental like a barbarians roar, with different levels of strength depending on how many times the bard has screamed."

Amen! To the whole post even. I'm sure screams will be FAR better once Ssra manages to get them released. Who knows how long till that happens though.


Thanks,
