With their superior vocal training, Bards are able to focus their voices to do some extraordinary tasks. Bardic Screams are taught by the Guild and provide a variety of tools to aid the Bard in whatever situation they may come across.

Screams are currently in the process of being rewritten and will be much more use-friendly after the rewrite.
