Bri Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 This came up in discussion, so the question is do you think Delainy should have a bardic kit? I'll be honest, and say that of the ones presented, none really strike me as appropriate...and I don't recall any from the Player's Guide to Bards that would fit either. However, this is wide open for discussion... Link to comment
Grim Squeaker Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 You could come up with a new one.  A sort of rangery/druidy type bard.  More in touch with nature. Edit: If it was unique to her then it would make upgrading her werewolf abilites easier as you could make it part of the kit. Link to comment
sg3kmb613sdf5gr Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 The only existing one that I can see fit is the Skald, who tells stories about the great fights and stuff like that... But then again, she is one of the friendly werewolves who doesn't want to fight that much. It's a hard choice... Link to comment
KIrving Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 As Grim Squeaker said, a unique kit maybe, perhaps the Skald one adapted. I got the impression that Delainy wouldn't mind a fight if it was for a good reason. Link to comment
Jessayla Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 If you're just going from the in-game kits, then I'd say no, I don't see Delainy as fitting well within any of these.  However, the idea of making up a new kit for her is intriguing.  It would be especially interesting should you be able to tie in some of her shamanic-type abilities..Just a thought anyway.

Bri Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Yeah, in game Kits, the Skald would come closest, but not for what I desire. And while she is a good werewolf, and won't necessarily strike the first blow (normally, hey, she can have her off days, especially when Selune is high in the sky, and the blood that flows is her own...) I've checked through the Player's Guide to Bards, Player's Guide to Barbarians, and Player's Guide to Wizards, and all had some ideas, but nothing really fits the way I picture Delainy. As a result, if I do make it I will have to do one from scratch. Link to comment
CamDawg Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 To be honest, with her innate shapeshifting and howls, it will be like she's already kitted IMO. If anything, I want to make sure she doesn't get overpowered... The werewolf shapeshift is already like a free Tensor's transformation. Link to comment
Bri Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 And I probably will refer to Delainy's position as Moon Dancer. That is the best translation that comes across for what I have in mind (and I don't have to use the term galliard)... Link to comment

Actually, Camdawg, I may just build a description of her kit, which will lend a sense of history to her...while continuing with what I had in mind anyways. And you are right, the thing is to make sure she doesn't get overpowered ;-) Link to comment

Jessayla Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Mmm. How I miss my old WoD games.. Link to comment
Bri Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 *grins* Yep, I do play it...a few of my posts here and there at Forgotten Wars Projects does show that Link to comment
BigRob Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 How much Gnosis will her kit have? Heheh. No, actually, I think Delainy is probably closest to a basic bard, a keeper of stories and history. Certainly more concerned with the stories than a Sword Coast minstrel, but pretty much the same.
