Roars are offensive debilitations used by [[Barbarian]]s.


Roars have a timer of use that will diminish the strength of the roar (or roars on the same timer) when used before the timer expires. This is in-line with other debilitation abilities. <Need info on what roars are grouped by timer and what the timer length is for each group. Wail of Torment and Kuniyo's Stike share a timer.>
A Barbarian has at their disposal the ability to use roars to intimidate or disable an enemy, or to inspire an ally. Roars which act upon foes are generally referred to as Intimidation Roars, while roars that bolster the Barbarian's allies are referred to as Battle Cries.


==Syntax==
Beginning at 5th circle, a Barbarian can learn a new roar every ten circles from one of the various [[Barbarian]] guildleaders.
ROAR - Roar at the room and check the condition of your voice.
ROAR <ability> - Roar at the enemy you are currently facing.
ROAR <ability> at <enemy> - Roar only at the specified individual.
ROAR QUIET - Check the condition of your voice.
ROAR QUIET <ability> - Roar only at enemies engaged with you including other players.
ROAR AREA <ability> - Roar at everything in the room including players in your group. (Learned from [[Strategos]] Mastery.)
ROAR CREATURES <ability> - Roar at every non-player in the room. (Learned from [[Strategos]] Mastery.)
ROAR LIST - Recall all known roar abilities.
ROAR CHECK - Checks the area to see if roaring is illegal.


When prone, sitting or kneeling, ROAR will launch you to your feet. This will not work if a room does not allow combat.
==Use==
Roaring is done using the {{com|Roar}} command.


==Voice Pool==
The primary statistic for enhancing Roars is [[Charisma]], though [[Strength]], [[Stamina]], and skill with the weapon in hand may play a part in some Roars. See specific entries for non-standard enhancements. The ratio of people within your group compared to the number outside it will affect the strength of your roar; the more allies you have the more potent your fear, but the more enemies you face, the less you intimidate. In addition, combat range and your position also will enhance or penalize your attempts, with closer enemies and overwhelmed enemies being more susceptible to your attempts.
Roars draw from a Barbarian's voice pool. The use of roars degrades this pool with each successive roar, however, without use it will recover over time. The voice pool remains static and cannot be increased by skills or stats. Use ROAR or ROAR QUIET by itself while standing to determine your current pool level.


*You feel ready to defeat all challengers.
Voice recovery time may be improved with the [[Vocals skill]], however, this is a minor effect, with the maximum bonus to recovery occurring at about 100 ranks in Vocals..
*You feel worn but still ready to meet a challenge.
*You feel depleted and less than inspired.
*You feel completely empty and unable to grasp inspiration.


Roars may be additionally boosted with the use of [[Berserk Nightmare]], [[Roar Helms]], or [[Warpaint]], and defended against with [[Roar Cloaks]].
Single targeting is both easier and less costly, and Charisma, Debilitation, Roar Helms, Warpaint, and abilities which increase Charisma or Debilitation skill will improve roars.

==Trivia==
*They are named using a poetic convention.

Corporeal undead are highly resistant to Roars, and incorporeal undead are completely immune.

Roaring within the boundaries of many towns is considered a crime and will garner warrants for Disturbing the Peace.

It is currently impossible to unlearn Roars and Battle Cries, although it is possible that a system for rechoosing Roars may be made available in the future.

Roars are offensive debilitations used by Barbarians.

Roars have a timer of use that will diminish the strength of the roar (or roars on the same timer) when used before the timer expires. This is in-line with other debilitation abilities. <Need info on what roars are grouped by timer and what the timer length is for each group. Wail of Torment and Kuniyo's Stike share a timer.>

Syntax

 ROAR - Roar at the room and check the condition of your voice.
 ROAR <ability> - Roar at the enemy you are currently facing.
 ROAR <ability> at <enemy> - Roar only at the specified individual.
 ROAR QUIET - Check the condition of your voice.
 ROAR QUIET <ability> - Roar only at enemies engaged with you including other players.
 ROAR AREA <ability> - Roar at everything in the room including players in your group. (Learned from Strategos Mastery.)
 ROAR CREATURES <ability> - Roar at every non-player in the room. (Learned from Strategos Mastery.)
 ROAR LIST - Recall all known roar abilities.
 ROAR CHECK - Checks the area to see if roaring is illegal.

When prone, sitting or kneeling, ROAR will launch you to your feet. This will not work if a room does not allow combat.

Voice Pool

Roars draw from a Barbarian's voice pool. The use of roars degrades this pool with each successive roar, however, without use it will recover over time. The voice pool remains static and cannot be increased by skills or stats. Use ROAR or ROAR QUIET by itself while standing to determine your current pool level.

  • You feel ready to defeat all challengers.
  • You feel worn but still ready to meet a challenge.
  • You feel depleted and less than inspired.
  • You feel completely empty and unable to grasp inspiration.

Single targeting is both easier and less costly, and Charisma, Debilitation, Roar Helms, Warpaint, and abilities which increase Charisma or Debilitation skill will improve roars.

Trivia
