Minstrels

image-1729524849571.jpgMinstrels are the lead worshipers of the Armies of Heaven. They possess more Passion than any other Order. They pour this Passion into Songs that inspire their allies and challenge their enemies. Their incredible Control helps them sing more complex Songs or even layer multiple Songs at once. Still, they must pay heed as they are the weakest Order in Might and Endurance. 

Minstrels largely set the tone of the atmosphere around them. Their Passion is so great that some would say it takes more Control for them to stay quiet rather than sing. The Most High is the reason for their excitement, and they will readily direct their Passion against those who oppose Him. Those who are Defeated when facing a Minstrel often find they have been depleted of Resolve or Passion rather than or in addition to Endurance. 

The Minstrel has the face of a Man. Man is representative of Passion and potential. Man by himself is weak, but with discipline and faith he can become a conqueror.

Special Abilities

Minstrels are prolific persuaders and can employ their Boundless Spark to make more frequent attempts to influence others. Minstrels may perform two Social Interactions each Turn instead of only one. These may not affect the same Target.

Minstrel Disciplines

After reaching at least Rank:3 Minstrels can consider joining one of these Disciplines:

Attributes

 

Minstrels gain the following bonuses to their Basic Attributes during character creation:
Control       = +3
Swiftness   = +3
Endurance = +3
Resolve     = +7
Passion     = +12

Minstrels' Seed Multipliers, meaning the amount of growth in a Basic Attribute for each Seed of Growth sprouted, are as follows:
Might          = x1
Control       = x2.5
Swiftness   = x1.5
Endurance = x1
Resolve     = x2.5
Passion     = x3

Progression

As Minstrels progress, they will learn more Songs, but will also grow in their Social Attributes.

Each new Rank a Minstrel will gain:
  • +2 to their Primary Attribute (Rank:40+ increases 7 instead)
  • +1 to their Secondary Attribute (Rank:40+ increases 3 instead)
  • 12 Seeds of Growth (Rank:40+ adds 40 Seeds instead, 7 in Primary and Secondary, 12 at random, and 14 assigned how you like)
  • 1 Social Point
  • 1 Song (the next in known Family, or the first in a new Family)

At certain milestones, Minstrels will also gain bonus Songs. The character will gain other bonuses at these milestones as well that are not specific to their Order.

Milestones:
 
  • Rank:7 (graduation from Fledgling status) = 1 Song
  • Rank:12 (Tier:2) = (choice) 1 Tier:2 Song or 3 Tier:1 Songs (from different Families)
  • Rank:24 (Tier:3) = (choice) 1 Tier:3 Song or 3 Tier:1-2 Songs (from different Families)
  • Rank:40 (Tier:4) = (choice) 3 Tier:1-3 Songs (from different Families)
