Barding
-
Barding difficulty is now dynamically calculated based on traditional UO formula.
-
All barding effects now have a duration based on the relevant barding skills.
-
Using Provocation or Peacemaking on a monster which already has one of those effects will override the current effect.
-
Barding no longer produces threat to provoke monsters, instead it acts as a target priority while maintaining its threat table.
-
Taunts will override an active provoke.
-
Provocation, Discordance, and Peacemaking now factor the monster's barding difficulty into the chance to gain skill.
-
If a skill check results in no challenge for the bard there will be no chance to gain skill.
-
If a skill check results in an impossible challenge for the bard there will be no chance to gain skill.
-
A failed attempt with a barding skill will result in the generation of threat towards the bard.
-
Slayer instruments now provide +20 effective barding skill up from +10.
-
Exceptional instruments now provide +10 effective barding skill up from +5.
-
Max barding difficulty has been slightly reduced.
-
Barding difficulty scaling requirements on high level creatures have been slightly reduced.
-
Barding difficulty no longer receives a bonus from secondary bard skills.
-
For example you no longer receive any benefit during provoke by having the peacemaking skill.
-
Discordance's effects are still increased by secondary barding skills, however its success chance is not.
-
No changes to Musicianship.
-
-
Instrument Duration is calculated using the relevant bard skill and Musicianship.
Duration in seconds = (75 - (Barding Difficulty / 2)) * (Barding Skill / 100)
With a minimum duration in seconds = (20 + Boss Duration Bonus) * (Musicianship / 100)
- Minimum duration bonus for boss level creatures is 10 seconds and will scale based on boss level.
