Info

Bards are taught various techniques to PRACTICE before performances, readying themselves physically and mentally for the task ahead of them. Practicing also helps to restore Bardic Mojo.

Breathing

Provides a small bonus to Vocal and Wind performances.

Stretching

Provides a small bonus to Percussion and String performances.

Assessment

Will provide information regarding the current state of a Bard's Mojo pool.

Voice

Will list your natural voice range. For bards it will also list their current voice range as well as possible voices to which they may switch.

Usage

The timer in between PRACTICE uses is about 30 seconds between usage.

All characters are randomly assigned a singing voice (within the range dictated by race and gender). You can check your natural voice type with the PRACTICE VOICE command.

Bards with sufficient skill have access to all voice types for their gender regardless of race and can change their voice types at will with the PRACTICE VOICE <range> command. Non-Bards cannot change their voice types.

Racial Ranges
