	Minstrels are so talented they can literally evoke magic spells by playing mundane instruments. Early in your music career you get access to a variety of elemental attacks. Using [[Play_Oboes\|PLAY OBOES]], [[Play_Clarinets\|PLAY CLARINETS]], [[Play_Violins\|PLAY VIOLINS]], and [[Play_Guitars\|PLAY GUITARS]] while wearing the corresponding instrument gives you access to [[Spell_AcidArrow\|ACID ARROW]], [[Spell_ShockingGrasp\|SHOCKING GRASP]], [[Spell_Frost\|FROST]], and [[Spell_Fireball\|FIREBALL]] spells respectively. Everyone in the room, that is not in your group, will be attacked with your malicious melodies, so take care you do not start a fight you can't win. Make sure to [[Skill_TuneInstrument\|TUNE]] your instruments to get the most damage out of them. Some instruments use both hands, so you might not be able to wield a weapon during those ballads. Other instruments may require you to hold them to your mouth. In these cases, you will not be able to speak until you take a [[Play_Break\|BREAK]] from your playing. Every type of instrument can conjure certain unique effect on it's own, but can also be used to play the variety of music pieces you will learn during your career. You can even boost the abilities of your fellow [[Bard(Base)\|BARDS]] with [[Play_Accompaniment\|ACCOMPANIMENT]], pushing your band mates into the limelight.

	While most of a minstrels talents come from instruments, you are also able learn a few A-Capella songs. Notable ones include [[Song_Serenity\|SERENITY]], which will pacify all fighting in a room, and [[Song_Quickness\|QUICKNESS]], which will increase the number of attacks for your whole party. If you aren't using an instrument that requires your mouth, you can actually [[PlayInstrument\|PLAY]] and [[SING\|SING]] at the same time.

Everyone in the room, that is not in your group, will be attacked with your malicious melodies, so take care you do not start a fight you can't win. Make sure to [[Skill_TuneInstrument\|TUNE]] your instruments to get the most damage out of them. Some instruments use both hands, so you might not be able to wield a weapon during those ballads. Other instruments may require you to hold them to your mouth. In these cases, you will not be able to speak until you take a [[Play_Break\|BREAK]] from your playing. Every type of instrument can conjure certain unique effect on it's own, but can also be used to play the variety of music pieces you will learn during your career.

	While most of a minstrels talents come from instruments, you are also able learn a few acapella songs. Notable ones include [[Song_Serenity\|SERENITY]], which will pacify all fighting in a room, and [[Song_Quickness\|QUICKNESS]], which will increase the number of attacks for your whole party. If you aren't using an instrument that requires your mouth, you can actually [[PlayInstrument\|PLAY]] and [[SING\|SING]] at the same time. But to be truely effective, you will need to find a variety of instruments. These can be found all over the world, but when just starting out you can purchase them from one of the Ranasaels music shops in [[Alramus\|Alramus]], [Elvenhame or [[Midgaard\|Midgaard]]. You can also try to find an [[Artisan(Commoner)\|ARTISAN]] that knows [[InstrumentMaking\|INSTRUMENT MAKING]], or learn it yourself as one of your COMMON SKILLS. If all else fails using the [[OUTFIT\|OUTFIT]] command may equip you with a starting instrument, if your hands are free.

	Minstrels are fantastic in a group, but can also choose to travel the world as a solo act. Just be careful of your audience or you could end up de-composing.

	~~{{ClassTemplate\|Name~~=~~Minstrel\|Description~~=The Minstrel is the master of instruments and musical tools. So capable is a minstrel in this art that he or she is able to draw forth magical and wonderous powers from the instruments played. The Minstrel is able to craft and draw unique powers from any of dozens of different musical instruments, with the only drawback being how the chosen instrument impacts fighting or speaking ability while it is being played.		=How to Play=

	How to play: The Minstrel is as social of a bard as the others, but due to his many hours of lonely practice, the Minstrel also has an almost arcane like ability to use instrumental magic for more solitary or unique benefits than the simple Bard or Dancer. In the end, the Minstrel may become an orchestra of power unto himself, capable of bringing tremendous benefit and joy to his group, or terrible retribution to his foes. Therefore, if a player is looking for a bard to play when groups are not available, this is the one to pick.\|PrimeStat=~~Charisma\|Qualifications=Charisma 9+, Intelligence 9+\|Practices=5 +[(Wisdom/6)+1 per lvl]\|Trains=3 +1 per level\|Hitpoints=20 +[(Con/3)+(2d6) /lvl]\|Mana=100~~		=Multi-Classing Options and Effectiveness=

	Minstrels are so talented they can literally evoke magic spells by ~~[[PlayInstrument\|PLAY]]ing~~ mundane instruments. Early in your music career you get access to a variety of elemental spells. [[Play_Oboes\|OBOES]], [[Play_Clarinets\|CLARINETS]], [[Play_Violins\|VIOLINS]], and [[Play_Guitars\|GUITARS]] give you access to [[Spell_AcidArrow\|ACID]], [[Spell_ShockingGrasp\|ELECTRIC]], [[Spell_Frost\|COLD]], and [[Spell_Fireball\|FIRE]] spells respectivly. Everyone in the room, that is not in your group, will be attacked with your malicious melodies, so take care you do not start a fight you can't win. Make sure to [[Skill_TuneInstrument\|TUNE]] your instruments to get the most damage out of them. Some instruments use both hands, so you might not be able to wield a weapon during those ballads. Other instruments may require you to hold them to your mouth. In these cases, you will not be able to speak until you take a [[Play_Break\|BREAK]] from your playing. Every type of instrument can conjure certain unique effect on it's own, but can also be used to play the variety of music pieces you will learn during your career.

	While most of a minstrels talents come from instruments, you are also able learn a few acapella songs. Notable ones include [[Song_Serenity\|SERENITY]], which will pacify all fighting in a room, and [[Song_Quickness\|QUICKNESS]], which will increase the number of attacks for your whole party. If you aren't using an instrument that requires your mouth, you can actually [[PlayInstrument\|PLAY]] and [[SING\|SING]] at the same time. But to be truely effective, you will need to find a variety of instruments. These can be found all over the world, but when just starting out you can purchase them from one of the Ranasaels music shops in [[Alramus\|Alramus]], Elvenhame or [[Midgaard\|Midgaard]]. You can also try to find an [[Artisan(Commoner)\|ARTISAN]] that knows [[InstrumentMaking\|INSTRUMENT MAKING]], or learn it yourself as one of your COMMON SKILLS and craft your own. If all else fails using the [[OUTFIT\|OUTFIT]] command may equip you with a starting instrument, if your hands are free.
