About 3 years ago i wrote out at least 10 different bluff and whistle abilities that were deemed, "interesting ideas." Nothing ever happened since, that I have seen.

Screams need to be fixed.
50 charisma
46 disc
97th circle
476 vocals

I gave a group of 3 rats head bleeders, with bluff amaze.

I'll do it again, and post results.
I was disapointed, to say the least.

Further, has anyone circled past 100th yet, in Prime? It looks like I'm approximitally 2 months max from getting there, my backtraining has been quicker than I first thought it was going to be, with the help of a not so entheusiastic teacher to help me along. Only about 75 total lore ranks left, and about 60 ranks of any instrument of my choice.

What have the thoughts of a 100th ability been?

There are at least two bards in Prime that have hit 100, and several of us in the 90s.

<<What have the thoughts of a 100th ability been?

No word yet on 100th ability though. Hopefully once Dart is a little less busy (yeah right, keep up the great work Dart!) we can start working on that.

My quick test with Scream defiance...

>practice assessment sing

(You are performing the bridge of Caress of the Sun.)
>
You clear your throat, then run through a short scale before launching into a stunning rendition of an ancient Elothean ballad taught you to by your guildleader during the long days of your early training. Your voice throbs with emotion as the vibrant tones of the song float on the air, and you feel strength settle in your heart as the pride of your people fills your veins. When the song finally comes to a close, you bow your head, your ears ringing in the silence.
[Roundtime: 10 seconds.]


>bluff amaze

Gathering the attention of everyone nearby, you begin to weave a story so highly improbable that it should cause your audience to burst into laughter. Instead, utilizing your Bardic flair and zest, your charismatic performance is such that it has everyone believing your tales of great exploits and legendary adventures (all with you as the hero, of course). You imagine that after such a breathtaking display, the adoring crowds should be much more vulnerable to your persuasive charm now.
Roundtime: 7 seconds.
R>
The black-backed jackal closes to melee range on you!
R>* Trying poorly, a black-backed jackal bites at you. You evade.

[You're solidly balanced and opponent has slight advantage.]
R>
You feel fully attuned to the mana streams again.
>scream def

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.
A black-backed jackal suddenly slumps, bowing its head in obvious pain.
[Roundtime: 8 sec.]


You see a black-backed jackal.
The black-backed jackal has a badly bruised and swollen head.
The black-backed jackal is bleeding with discoloration in the head.
It is wearing nothing!
It is carrying nothing!

You are certain that the black-backed jackal is healthy.
You are certain that the black-backed jackal is slightly fatigued.
You are certain that it is significantly less agile than you are.
You are certain that it is a great deal less quick to react than you are.
You are certain that it is definitely weaker than you are.
Taking stock of its offensive abilities, and defending with no weapon, you are certain that the black-backed jackal is a very easy opponent.
Taking stock of its defensive abilities, and attacking with no weapon, you are certain that the black-backed jackal is something you could wipe the floor with.

That is really cool to see that actually do something! Thanks for sharing. Course you can probably throw a stuffed bunny at it and hurt it more :)
Screams really do have a lot of potential. I cant wait til they get fixed up!
