Discordance

Overview

Discordance is the bard's debuff. Success lowers a creature's strength, dexterity, intelligence and every skill by Discordance/5 percent: 20% at 100, 24% at 120.

What It Does

• Difficulty is the creature's instrument difficulty minus 10, lowered a further 0.5 per point of Musicianship over 100 and by 5 with a Bardic Lute. Your roll must land within 25 of it.
• The effect holds while you stay alive and in range; once you leave range it fades after 15 seconds.
• Cannot be used on players or your own pets.

On Perilous Legends
