harp of fire

the harp that was given to the goddess of fire after she sacrificed her life in consuming flames. can cast red dragon's breath 4 times a day (immune to any fire) (magical or normal)

harp of stupidity

casts feebleminded 3 times a day and can also cast chaos 1 a day.
(downside - must be a jester)

harp of hell caster

once a day: all good characters must suffer 1d50 hp of damage and be permantly blinded or die of save vs spell is failed. (downside - inflicts 10 hp of damage to user as payment)

harp of...............damn I ran out of idea.

Harp of damn I ran out of idea? what kind of harp is that?

Jon the Hell Caster 12-15-2000 02:34 PM

Harp of the Mighty Paithan (sorry Wah paithan turned out ot be a bard not a cleric mage)
+2 mem spells
+1 int
+2 chr
cast fire arrow twice a day
cast time stop once a day

Glorick the Half-Orc 12-15-2000 03:12 PM

How about Harp of Turn me into a useful class? Like, once a day, turn me into a fighter, mu, or thief of the same level? So instead of being the most worthless class in AD&D, the bard can actually switch between the classes that should have been chosen? May be kinda hard to make...

Dr.FuManchu 12-15-2000 03:21 PM

haha Glorick.....good one

Jon the Hell Caster 12-15-2000 04:06 PM

alright i like a challenge. I am now abandoning my Fire Harp and will *try* making the harp of class change.

G.W. 12-15-2000 04:27 PM

How about one harp that represents the reperitore of songs the bard has. The harp can do the following:
Cast defensive harmony once a day
Cast haste (or improved haste) once a day
Cast mass heal once a day
Cast invisibility 10' radius once a day
Cast protection from evil 10' radius once a day

Jon the Hell Caster 12-16-2000 02:16 PM

um.. Glorick right now all those items are on my comp. Because I made them. If you want one you can email me at yos@gis.net

Bardo 12-16-2000 03:01 PM

How bout the harp of tell glorick to go ■■■■ off and stop slaggin the bard when he is a shitty half orc how dumb can u get.What class are you umm let me guess a fighter.Have you ever tried a bard?????

Jon the Hell Caster 12-16-2000 03:08 PM

I am a Necromancer hence Jon The Hell Caster. I am about to start a game as a bard. Which one do you think is the coolest Bardo?

Melusine 12-16-2000 03:45 PM

I haven't tried any bard kits myself but from the stats I'd have to say a skald or jester is best. A blade is... well, we all have our opinions about HaerDelis haven't we? (personally I think there are worse characters in the game, but oh well) A jester has the abilities to confuse enemies with bard song which I suspect is helpful, and furthermore, his kit hasn't got any restrictions. The skald's restriction is a weaker pickpocket ability, but if you have Jan or if you use some items like the Gloves of pickpocketing that wouldn't matter (and knowing you Jon you'll probably think up some cool harp yourself which increases pickpocket abilities). The merits of the skald are +1 damage and combat bonuses with the bard song. I think the skald is also interesting because of the historical background (nordic bards actually were called skalds and are interesting historical figures)

Jon the Hell Caster 12-16-2000 03:53 PM

well Melusine you're to late. I already made a Harp which increases pick pocket abilitey and its called "Harp of The thief" sadly its not working. Did you get the bullets?

Holy Mage Wah 12-16-2000 04:10 PM

You know Jon, it would be kinda sad if you made all these great items and THEN decided that a bard was not worth being. I recall you being a druid once? (hmmm my memory isn't that bad!) - Did you make tons of items for it too? heh heh, just reassuring ya. happy creating!!

Glorick the Half-Orc 12-16-2000 06:39 PM

Bardo, I assume you must be quite mentally challenged, but a lot of youngsters read this forum and you should refrain from "colorful" language... I guess you wish you were a "gangsta rapper" judging from your silly sig and your lack of social graces. I wonder if someone could make you a custom character to fit your wonderful personality - perhaps a boom-box-carrying buffoon who steals at will thinking the world "owes him" and kicks people when they are already down... Or just plain shoots them in the back.


Rikard T'Aranaxz 12-17-2000 03:12 AM

Yeah Jon Irenicus AVENGER DRUID
we will fight for neutrality
And now he is evil
C'mon not every necromancer is evil
Do you recall me???
or my apprentice Kaël (no sorry he was not a necro)

Jon the Hell Caster 12-17-2000 05:23 PM

Darn... All right my disguse is up. Yes I used to be a an Avenger Druid. But I still am Netural. A Necromancer works for anyone who pays money just like Yoshimoe.
