General Info

Inspiration

Inspiration is the main drive for bards and fuels their abilities. It is only regenerated by resting or by observing your muse. During a full rest, you will restore Inspiration equal to your Bard's Rest Regeneration + his Willpower Modifier.

Muse

Each bard can have a muse or even be his own muse. A muse regenerates the bard's inspiration whenever he or she successfully hits an enemy with an Attack or Spell Action, but not more than once per turn. The amount restored is, per default, equal to the sum of the bard's and the muse's Willpower Modifier.

Bardic Abilities

Bards need enough inspiration and an instrument to use their bardic abilities. If they are skilled with the Instrument, they can add the Instrument's bonus dice to their Bardic Dice roll. Your targets must be able to hear your instrument being played in order for their buffs or debuffs to be applicable. An Instrument and a Weapon can be equipped simultaneously, and switching between them does not require any Time or Actions.
