Ventriloquism is the art of throwing one's voice onto nearby objects, people or critters. [[Bard]]s and [[Thieves]] are both capable of learning techniques for throwing their voice. While Bards of sufficient skill can learn from [[teacher is::Malik]] in [[Shard]], Thieves must be trained by a Bard. There are some differences between the voice throws available to members of each guild.
[[Thieves]] of a certain level are also able to utilize these techniques when taught by a trained Bard. Their techniques vary slightly from those of a Bard, to suit their particular needs.

Ventriloquism is the art of throwing one's voice onto nearby objects, people or critters. Bards and Thieves are both capable of learning techniques for throwing their voice. While Bards of sufficient skill can learn from Malik in Shard, Thieves must be trained by a Bard. There are some differences between the voice throws available to members of each guild.

Bardic Voice Throws

Any items that the Bard is wearing or holding.

  • THROW VOICE <item> <message>

Items in something you are wearing or holding.

  • THROW VOICE <item> in <item> <message>.

Any items someone else is wearing or holding.

  • THROW VOICE <item> on <person> <message>.

At NPC's.

  • THROW VOICE <NPC> <message>.

At players.

  • THROW VOICE <player> <message>.
NOTE: Abuse of this ability can lead to GM intervention in Prime or Plat!


Thief Voice Throws

Throw your voice in different directions.

  • THROW VOICE OUT <message>.

Objects lying around.

  • THROW VOICE <item> <message>.

Items in/on/behind/under item on the ground.

  • THROW VOICE <item> in/on/behind/under <item> <message>.

Items on critters.

  • THROW VOICE <item> on <critter> <message>.

At critters.

  • THROW VOICE <critter> <message>.

Teaching

A Bard may teach any of these techniques to a Thief of sufficient circle. The Bard must have at least 30 Charisma in order to teach any of these techniques.

To initiate a class:

  • THROW VOICE LEARN <Bard>
  • THROW VOICE TEACH <Thief>

Also:

  • THROW VOICE REFUSE/DECLINE

It takes ~15 minutes to teach each technique and you teach them in sequential order. After the lesson is finished, the Bard must rest for ~15 minutes to absorb the lesson. This will teach a small amount of Teaching and Scholarship. Skill does not appear to affect class length.
