Also for the Bard Trait it costs 4 XP You get the following, a +2 bonus on all Linguistic, Knowledge, and Performance Rolls (this is just a bonus, doesn't give you free ranks in the skill), and a +2 to your Reputation. Furthermore you pay 1 point less for the Words of Power Trait and any other Song based Traits that you can come up with. [hider=For Unendings Eyes] Your flaws are the following: [b][i]Minor Pyrophobia (+1 XP):[/b][/i] You are somewhat afraid of fire. While small fires may cause a small bit of alarm, you are more afraid of bigger fires or fire coming at you. You must make a Concentration Roll (DL 15) whenever faced with an open flame or otherwise you cannot get near it (and may even be Intimidated by it). [b][i]Lawless (+2 XP):[/b][/i] You are not really one for following the law. For starters you get a -2 on all Negotiation Rolls with any of those who uphold the law. This is -5 if they are aware of this in some way, shape, or form (like if they are incredibly perceptive or something). [b][i]Temptation of Violence (+2 XP):[/b][/i] You are quick to violence thanks to a dark corruption within from your contract that tempts you to violence. For starters those who can sense power can find out about your corruption. Also whenever a negotiation attempt is unsuccessful you must make a DL 20 Concentration Roll or otherwise you will try and resort to violence, intimidation, and just overall coercion to get what you want (doesn't necessarily have to be violent, could be black mail or other things, but it just has to be Intimidation). So +5 XP for your Flaws. +6 XP from your Aptitude, so yea you get +11 XP total, which gives you 56 XP to spend at Character Creation. [/hider]
