	*LORE: Whenever a Bard encounters a magical item, he may examine it in order to discern its history.

This may or may not reveal specific magical properties of that item, at the referee’s discretion.		*LORE: Whenever a Bard encounters a magical item, he may examine it in order to discern its history.

This may or may not reveal specific magical properties of that item, at the referee’s discretion.
	*SPELL CASTING (2ND): Beginning at 2nd level, a Bard may cast Wizard Spells in a fashion exactly like a Wizard. However, unlike the Wizard, the Bard does not begin play with the foreknowledge of any spells. They must find Wizards to instruct them or recover spells from scrolls or other sources. Instead they begin play with a blank book in which to inscribe any spells the Bard discovers. Reading from the book, the Bard presses his chosen spell formulae into his mind, “preparing” these spells. Once a prepared spell is cast, it disappears from the Bard’s memory (until it is prepared again). It is possible to prepare a spell multiple times using the available “slots” in a Bard’s memory/capability. If a Bard finds a scroll containing a Wizard spell while adventuring, he can copy it into his spell book.		*SPELL CASTING (2ND): Beginning at 2nd level, a Bard may cast Wizard Spells in a fashion exactly like a Wizard.

			*INSPIRING PERFORMER: With the referee’s permission, the Bard may attempt to inspire his allies in battle instead of casting a spell or attacking. The Bard must be able to speak, and in most cases makes use of a musical instrument to use this ability. While using this ability, all of the Bard’s allies within thirty feet receive a +1 bonus to their Base Hit Bonus and any saving throws they attempt. This bonus remains in effect for as long as the Bard is performing.
			*BARDIC THIEVERY: Bards are stealthy and light-footed. The Thievery ability may be used for any number of clandestine or stealth-based actions. From picking pockets or locks, discovering and disarming traps, remaining silent and hidden while moving or even climbing walls freehanded—these talents are reflected in the ability of Thievery. The referee has the final say as to whether an action falls under the purview of thievery or not. When the Bard attempts to use this ability the referee rolls 1d6. If the result of the roll is equal to or lower than their rating in the thievery ability, the Bard is successful in their attempt. Bards are not often aware of when their attempts to remain stealthy fail, and the Bard always believes he is successful. When a Bard fails using this ability while free-climbing a wall or disarming a trap, they can endanger themselves with either a great fall or by being in the path of a poisonous dart or concealed trap.

			==Setting==

			===Overview===

			Behdastar is an area of recently settled land nestled between the Towers of the Stars (mountain range) and the Trackless Moors. Also known as the Baronial Tripartite, three fiefs (Comlay, Coontar, and the Gindar baronies) share an uneasy alliance within these borderlands and wilds.

			Although recently plagued by raiders and bandits, a thriving new city and numerous opportunities to stake claims in the iron-rich hills and mountains, cultivation, and many other natural resources have attracted folk from various neighboring nations and regions, making the Behdastar plateau a melting pot of peoples. From the northwestern cold forests, a small group of elves who have remained after the Flower Wars have settled in the Gray Wood. One of the Seven Secret Dwarf-Gates of Tibor issues from a hidden location near the Maltor Pass, allowing dwarven traders to frequent the plateau and work many of the natural ores into finished works. And, of course, sworn knights and lords — mostly from Valdamor — have laid claim to the lands. Ruins of a long-forgotten empire also dot the fens and badlands of the surrounds.

			Goblins and worse raiders are not unknown here, and in recent years, their growing numbers indicate a potential horde invasion in the near future. Spirits, shades, and walking dead also have a presence in places where the sun fails to pierce the shadows under twisted forests and broken cairns. None know why this unholy pestilence lurks on the fringes of farmland and hamlets.

			Most alarmingly, a yearlong drought has created a crisis and shortage, and the careless expansion and windfalls have come to an abrupt halt. Famine and disease is on the rise, as are the predators of civilization — in Charis, the only true city in the Barony of Comlay, cutpurses and scoundrels are the true lords. Even worse was the discovery of a recent cult involving fearsome werewolves.

			To exacerbate recent problems, the rival baronies have sent spies into one another’s realm. Mistrust is at an unprecedented high. Recently, in Clain, Poro Shadwick of Gindar was found guilty of espionage on behalf of Baron Tholomew and executed, starting a conflict between the three realms. Skirmishes have broken out, and being lured by easy coin, foreign mercenary companies are arriving on the plateau. Troubling times for sure!

			There was never a greater need for heroes than now.

			===Elven Faith===

			Elves recognize a cosmic being or principle which brought about creation, but believe that this power is beyond prayers and does not respond to mortal worship. They recognize and commune with the divines of particular groves, glades, and grottoes. Indeed, the elves of the Gray Wood have "rediscovered" several new divine sites since settling there. Ballads are sung about the Firstborn, but they are more like mythic heroes, ancestors, or saints than goddesses or gods.

			Some heterodox elves believe that the moon and stars hold distant but equally sacred natural sites, which they commune with on starry nights in clear, still reflecting pools and clearings that catch shafts of moonlight. The 'Stargazers' count Agathin among their number.
