Bard Skills
|
Bard Skills are a new set of skills available only for Episode 2 Early Access holders.
- Bards can inspire or demoralize. If you're looking to influence others with your songs and words, you'll have to seek out Oski in Vikland. But be warned: only those who are able to adventure in Mistrendur can find him.
