Chants

I working through my solo play for Tales of the Splintered Realm, I found the need to develop rules for chants. These are something that I've wanted to layer in for some time, but I think I finally have a system in place that makes sense. I also realized that these were perfect for Potato Bugs in the Army Ants game; these are subtle magical effects that don't have the wow factor of arcane magic, but which can provide exceptional team support. This allows for a number of new classes as well, because this can be an add-on to warriors (the skald), thieves (the bard) and even fighter/clerics (the paladin).

Chants are musical effects that you emit, and that you stack as you become more powerful. While at level 1 your chant only does one thing, by level 6 it is doing several things simultaneously. You must have at least 2 lesser chants before you may take a greater chant; you must have the lesser version of a chant before you may take the greater version. You must be able to move and make noise to use a chant; you cannot sneak while chanting, and when your chant ends, all benefits from it end as well. You can start and end chants as a free action.

Sample Chants
  • Lesser Chant of Regeneration. Each ally within 30’ recovers 1 hit point every other round.
  • Greater Chant of Regeneration. Each ally within within 30’ recovers 1 hit point per round.
  • Lesser Chant of Armor. Each ally within 30’ takes +1 to AC.
  • Greater Chant of Armor. Each ally within 30’ takes +2 to AC.
  • Lesser Chant of Striking. Each ally within 30’ takes +1 to attack rolls.
  • Greater Chant of Striking. Each ally within 30’ takes +2 to attack rolls.
  • Lesser Chant of Acuity. Each ally within 30’ receives +1 to Feats
  • Greater Chant of Acuity. Each ally within 30’ receives +2 to Feats.

I want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.
