Bards in Final Fantasy XI
In Final Fantasy XI Bard is an advanced job that one can unlock at level 30 via quest. It is a support job. The Bard uses songs to cast buffs upon party members, and debuffs on enemies. The buff songs are Area of Effect, and careful planning and placement is necessary to make sure the correct buffs land on the correct characters. Party members can have a maximum of two buffs on them, and enemies can have one of each type of debuff put on them. Charisma affects the potency of these songs.
Bards are proficient with light armor and shields (except tower shields).
A bard of 9th level or higher with 12 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use music or poetics to inspire greatness in himself or a single willing ally within 30 feet, granting him or her extra fighting capability.
A bard of 12th level or higher with 15 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use music or poetics to create an effect equivalent to the break enchantment spell (caster level equals the character’sbard level).
A bard's song gives +1 to the saving rolls of associated creatures and the bard himself against attacks which are based on sound, such as the keen of a groaning spirit, or the roar of an androsphinx or a dragonne.
A bard is useful to his party when traveling in the wilderness because a bard's songs are soothing for a road-weary traveller, thus allowing an additional 20% of normal movement per day if on foot; if all party members are mounted, a gain of an additional 10% per day is obtained.
Since this bard is obviously too powerful for use as a player character, the aspects of the skald and the troubador were combined with it to create a toned-down version suitable for a new characterclass.
