this is awesome. :herocoin:

#3

This is great. Thanks for sharing.

Is there max amount of inspiration a target can have before they use it?

#4

WIS to use songs? This is blasphemy, this is madness! :smile:

#5

The COSMOS has no emotion, and so cannot benefit, or be afflicted by, INSPIRATION (ie: timers, physics, objects, and the like)

Okay, the inanimate COSMOS I can understand, but what about the GODS who control the COSMOS!? :wink: Huh?

"Oh, gods of ICRPG, grant us this boon as I play you this tune!"

Maybe, just maybe, the INSPIRATION can work as a soothing sound to the GODS to temporarily bring about changes in the physical COSMOS (i.e. slowing/stopping time, altering the composition of matter)? Maybe this is a Milestone and always a HARD roll :game_die: with 2 :heart: EFFORT?

Otherwise, like this Bard Class! :+1: I have one player who I think would really enjoy this class a lot.

I like the idea of “instrument repair kit, +3 to attempts to repair” concept. Be good to add that kind of thing for armor repair. Great job

I think it would be limited to how much Inspiration a Bard gets from their roll. They can place the entire amount on a single target. I see the Inspiration coming from an individual song and think a new song would Inspire in a different way and be unable to stack with the previous. Just my two cents though, you can use it at your table how you’d like. :blush:

Haha, no I get it. But knowing the song doesn’t feel like it should be tied to CHA to me. But as always, you can change anything to fit your table. :grin::+1:

I think you give the Gods too much credit. :wink:

@Kreeba, that’s dope! Nice job, dude! :raised_hands:

Nice! Blacksmith’s Kit. :metal: There’s also the Forge Hammer- Tier 1 reward in the Path of Iron from ICRPG Worlds. :blush:

Oh that makes more sense, everything kinda clicks into place for me after hearing the 2nd song removes the 1st.

I thin I have a player who will enjoy this class.

#10

Dude, I can’t wait to play this class myself. I love Bard’s. Hehe. I look at them as a support class, to me they aren’t the hero but make the heroes “a little mo betta than you’re used to.” :blush::+1:

If you run one at the table I’d love to hear how it goes.

#11

what about a Haste/Slow/Stop spell to effect timers.
Tier 3 or 4 Milestone.
hard roll can speed up, slow down or hold a room timer.
only one timer at a time.
Hard Wis check.

as far as the rest of the class. i hope we can make it like this. 1:06

it is a bard style i have always wanted to try to make. physical attacks with sound

#12

Firstly, Kung Fu Hustle is one of the greatest films to grace the screen, Stephen Chow is a badass and I recommend every one of his movies for the betterment of mankind. :blush: :raised_hands:

This sounds like the realm of Mages. I would definitely Inspire a Mage to do this. That’s just my take on it though. :wink::+1:

#13

i concur with your reasoning.

#14

What about making this apart of the inspiration points.

Haste: use inspiration points on self to speed up the tempo and increase Adrenaline.
( getting pumped )
Slow: use inspiration points on self to slow down the tempo and decrease Adrenaline.
(chill out man)

provoke: Cha check. You unleash a string of insults at a creature you can see within range. Taunts the target to attack you.

#15

The Bard Class has been updated after much playtesting in the Warpshell Dragon campaign on Roll For Effort (youtube playlist). Thanks for the input, my dudes! Hero Coins all around! :herocoin:

#16

I love how elegant and reductionist this is.

#17

Oops, forgot to add the link for the revised Bard.

#18

I think the change to CHA was the right call. The music is the medium, but the power is in the spirit.

Man! I can’t get over the simplicity and flexibility of this. It definitely has a home among all the other ICRPG innovations.

@Lakins I’ve also wanted this (a musician combatant). I think MAGIC will give suitable vocabulary and structure to hang this character concept on (maybe an Ancient or Intuitive Wizard).

#19

Really happy to see it so well received. Thanks much!

In the game I’ve been treating Inspiration as a Level 1 spell by Magic rules. Power equals number of allies that can be buffed. So giving the whole Inspiration total to 1 ally is Power 1, but spreading Inspiration to three allies is Power 3, etc. It has been really great at the table.

#20

I love this! Bards are my favorite characters. I must agree with CHA as the source of INSPIRATION.

I am SO making my Warp Shell character a Torton Bard! Imagine the tales that old reptile must know…
