|||
{{RTOC}} |
|||
A musical Lore skill, trained by singing or humming. |
|||
==Use== |
|||
While Bards gain the most tangible benefits from training Vocals (such as helping to reach mana caps on vocal [[enchante]]s), and is used in the Voice Throw check vs. Perception to determine if someone sees your lips move or not. [[Barbarian]]s should note that training the Vocals skill <u>minorly</u> increases the rate at which the voice recovers after [[Roars|Roar]]ing, so it is recommended that all [[Barbarian]]s train it passingly. Aside from [[Bard]] [[enchantes]] and [[Barbarians]] [[roars]], however, the skill has few applications. However, for [[Cleric]]s, enough ranks in Vocals skill will aid you in getting the [[Preacher|Preacher title]]. |
|||
==Vocal Ranges== |
|||
All characters are randomly assigned a voice type (within the [[Practice command#racial ranges|range]] dictated by race and gender), such as soprano, alto, or tenor. You can check your natural voice type with the {{tt|PRACTICE VOICE}} command. |
|||
[[guild association is::Bard]]s with sufficient [[Vocals]] skill have access to all voice types for their gender regardless of race and can change their voice types at will with the <tt>PRACTICE VOICE <type></tt> command. Non-Bards cannot change their voice types. |
|||
Voice types display with use of the <tt>[[Sing command|SING]]</tt>, <tt>[[Chant command|CHANT]]</tt>, and <tt>[[Chorus command|CHORUS]]</tt> commands. |
|||
==Training== |
|||
This skill is learned mainly through the usage of [[enchante]]s and song scrolls by [[Bard]]s, yet may also be learned by anybody by either writing and <tt>[[Sing command|SING]]</tt>ing their own songs (the more people to hear your song, the better you learn), or taking advantage of the [[Hum command|HUM]] system to learn in a less restrictive way. |
|||
To learn Vocals by humming, type <tt>[[Hum command#syntax|HUM HELP]]</tt> in game. A list of play styles will be shown, sorted from easiest to hardest. Try humming different styles until you find one that gives you "only the slightest hint of difficulty". This will provide optimal learning. Additionally, there are diffculty modifiers that can help you "dial in" to the play style that will yield the best results. |
|||
It should be noted that certain actions cannot be performed while humming, such as attacking in combat and preparing or casting spells, so experimentation is key. Working humming into your existing training regimen is a great way to pick up another skill (and thus more [[TDP]]s) for little to no extra effort. |
|||
===Humming (Non-Bard)=== |
|||
Although not of much use for non-[[Bard]]s, humming is commonly done for [[TDP]]s, titles, and role-playing. You gain the most experience from humming a song "with only the slightest hint of difficulty." Below is a chart that shows how many ranks it takes to hum a song at that difficulty level. Unless otherwise indicated, the song has no special style or mood.<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
You can hum in a special style or mood to decrease or increase the difficulty level. For example, you can "masterfully" hum songs that are three levels below your current "slightest hint of difficulty" level.<br> |

==Spirit Regeneration== |

|||

|||
Humming will prevent attacking, hiding, and spell casting.<br> |
