RIVYMONSTER2: /* Requirements */

Ventriloquism is the art of throwing one's voice onto nearby objects, people or critters. [[Bard]]s and [[Thieves]] are both capable of learning techniques for throwing their voice. While Bards of sufficient skill can learn from [[teacher is::Malik]] in [[Shard]], Thieves must be trained by a Bard. There are some differences between the voice throws available to members of each guild.

(Signed E)

==Teaching==
A Bard may teach any of these techniques to a Thief of sufficient circle. The Bard must have at least 30 Charisma in order to teach any of these techniques.

To initiate a class:
*THROW VOICE LEARN <Bard>
*THROW VOICE TEACH <Thief>

Also:
*THROW VOICE REFUSE/DECLINE

It takes ~15 minutes to teach each technique and you teach them in sequential order. After the lesson is finished, the Bard must rest for ~15 minutes to absorb the lesson. This will teach a small amount of Teaching and Scholarship. Skill does not appear to affect class length.

*Bard able to Teach Thief first ability at 225 performance skill.
*Thief ability to learn is strictly based on circle, not skills or stats.
