Background

Just like many coaches in the past, Morra wanted to be the best coach out there. Coaching champion teams like Lost Angel City Fakers (43 AD) and the Agrabah Red Carpets (49 AD) set the bar for many coaches until this day. He figured he'd retire while he was still on top.

Many years has past and Morra had no idea what he wanted to do. He tried going through different career paths such as weaponsmithing and teaching, and none of which would satisfy his needs. Trying to figure out what to fill the void with he ran into a group of people that recognized him. They asked him the biggest question that Jim could not answer properly: "Why did you go into retirement?" Morra could not answer that question. He took days trying to think of a legitimate answer and all he was drawing was a blank.

It was at that point when he realized that he needs to find a team that he could take to the top again. While roaming through Ellshore, he ran into a group of people and one particular person caught his eye by the name of Thorg Hungry. He decided to join their party hoping to take this group of people to the top of their ambitions.

Feats

• Bardic Knowledge (+19): Knowledge that bards pick up along the way.
• Bardic Music (16/day): Starting a bardic music efffect is a standard action. Some bardic music abilities require concentration, which means the bad must take a standard action each round to maintain the ability. Casting spells and using magical devices break the bardic music.
  • Countersong: Able to counter magical effects that depend on sound. Each round of counter song, he makes a Perform check. Any creature within 30 ft of hte bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magic attack may use the bard's Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check results proves to be higher.
  • Fascinate (6 creatures): Bard makes a Perform check. His check result is the DC for each affected creature's Will save against the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If the saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and listens to the song, taking no other actions, for as long as the bard continues to play and concentrate (up to a maximum of 1 round/bard level). While fascinated, a target takes a -4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Listen and Spot checks. Any potential threat requires the bard to make another Perform check and allows the creature a new saving throw against a DC equal to the new Perform check result.
  • Inspire Competance: An ally must be within 30 ft and able to see and hear the bard. The bard must also be able to see the ally. Ally gets a +2 bonus on skill checks with a particular skill. Effect, if the bad concentrates, up to 2 minutes.

  • Inspire Heroics (1 ally): Ally must be able to hear the bard for a full round. Ally gets a +4 bonus to saving throws and a +4 dodge bonus to AC.
  • Mass Suggestion: Make Suggestion to any number of creatures already fascinated.
  • Song of Freedom: Able to break enchantment spell (caster level equals the character's bard level). Using this ability requires 1 minute of uninterrupted concentration and music, and it functions on a single target wihtin 30 ft. A bard cannot target himself.
  • Suggestion: Creatures have to be fascinated. Able to make a suggestion to a creature. A will saving throw (DC 35 (10 + 1/2 bard lv + CHA MOD)) negates the effect.
