Skald

Skalds hail from nearly all Barbarian lands, they are holders of tribal tradition and often used during battle to inspire allies and break the wills of their opponents. They are often quiet individuals except in combat during which they nearly always enter in a fevor of sound, violence and fury.

There are few sounds around that can match the skald's for causing fear and trepidation in an ememy's forces. Most skalds are multiclass Bard/Barbarians, but you occasionally see pure bards or other multiclass combinations.

Description	(PRESTIGE CLASS) Skalds hail from nearly all barbarian lands, they are holders of tribal tradition and often used during battle to inspire allies and break the wills of their opponents. They are often quiet individuals except in combat during which they nearly always enter in a fevor of sound, violence and fury. There are few sounds around that can match the skald's for causing fear and trepidation in an ememy's forces. Most skalds are multiclass bard/barbarians, but you occasionally see pure bards or other multiclass combinations. - Hit Die: d8. - Proficiencies: Skalds gain no new armor or weapon proficiencies. - Skill Points: 3 + Int Modifier. REQUIREMENTS: Base Attack Bonus: +6 Feats: Toughness Skills: Perform, Lore, and Discipline 6 ABILITIES: Level 1: Terrorifying Bellow - This enables the Skald to cause fear and havok in the midst of combat, he is able to send his enemies fleeing before him when he screams his war cry. Use of this ability reduces the character's remaining Bard Song uses by one. 2: Deafening Chant - This enables the Skald to render his opponents deaf, from a constant numbing chant. Vibrations temporarily blind and deafen all those failing their save. Use of this ability reduces the character's remaining Bard Song uses by one. 3: Song of Exhaustion - When the Skald sings this ominous tune, his opponents often find it difficult to move, reducing both their rate of travel and their ability to attack effectively. Use of this ability reduces the character's remaining Bard Song uses by one. 4: Make them Bleed - The Skald is begining to truly master his voice, and is able to pierce the eardrums of all the foes near him, causing massive hemoraging and occasionally even death. There is no saving throw against this ability. Use of this ability reduces the character's remaining Bard Song uses by one. 5: Broken Wail - This is the pinnacle of the Skalds power, he is literally able to sing so strong and loud that he can snuff out the life of many creatures. All those within hearing must make a save or be stricken dead as the Skald breaks their very will to live. Use of this ability reduces the character's remaining Bard Song uses by two.
