Bard

Status: Implemented

Tags: Leader, Arcane

Details

Instrument Focus: Your Bard powers are performed through an equipped instrument, striking at range with arcane music. You must have an instrument equipped to use instrument powers.
Bardic Inspiration: Your attacks that open an enemy let a nearby ally strike with greater accuracy, granting a bonus to that ally's next attack against the target.
Virtue of Valor: Once per round, when an ally within 5 squares of you reduces an enemy to 0 hit points or bloodies an enemy, you grant that ally temporary hit points equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (3 + CON at 11th level, 5 + CON at 21st level).
Majestic Word: Minor action, once per round (unlimited). Close burst 5: if target has 2+ AP, they spend 2 AP and heal 25% Max HP + CHA modifier, then slide 1. If target has less than 2 AP (including dying), no AP is consumed and they heal 1d6 + CHA modifier, then slide 1.
Weapon Channel: When you channel a power through your instrument, you can draw on compatible magic properties of your equipped weapon, even though you never strike with it.
