Bard (background)

This page describes a part of Icesus that no longer exists.

Backgrounds were how a character was put together before kingdoms and stories replaced them. None of the choices described here can be made in the game today. The page is kept as a record of how Icesus used to work.

Current system: Character creation and Stories

Some minstrels take to the life of bards, travelling across the land and performing where they find audiences. Bards are much liked. They are intelligent and wise, and as they often use some simple magic too, they learn to draw more of the magic powers. Their long travels also tend to make them healthy and enduring.

The most visible effects on your character:

  o Constitution gives a little more endurance.
  o Gives more wealth.
  o Greatly increased maximum charisma.
  o Increased maximum dexterity.
  o Increased maximum wisdom.
  o Intelligence gives a little more spell points.
  o Wisdom gives a little more spell points.
