Strings skill

One of the musical Lore skills.

This skill is learned by playing upon stringed instruments, ie: lyres, lutes and harps.

Some instruments requite tools to be played, ie: lutes require picks.

Bards use stringed instruments to play certain Enchantes and their skill with the instrument can affect their ability to perform the enchante properly.

Stringed instruments may also be played just to be played, and there are several mood and tone options available. Bards have extra options available to them for playing instruments that are not available to other guilds.

Any guild may learn this skill simply by playing a stringed instrument, however aside from use as a general lore skill it has no practical application outside of the Bard guild.
