      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.
