Edwyn

Bio
Edwyn arrived from the kingdom across the sea to research the unusual creatures that make their home in Greybark. He weaves his research into bardic tales that might occasionally stretch the truth a little.

Songs he's been known to sing:

The Song of the Gryphon (a triumphant ballad about Robert the Gryphon-slayer)

A Song of Ice and Fire (a tragic ballad about the ill-fated love between forces of fire and frost)

Salty Heart, Silver Tongue (a satirical ballad about a certain "diplomat")

Hit Me Elfy One More Time (Edwyn's most obnoxious song, which he sang to drive away the guards holding him captive)

Moves
Arcane Art

When you weave a performance into a basic spell, choose an ally and an effect:

•Heal 1d8 damage

•+1d4 forward to damage

•Their mind is shaken clear of one enchantment

•The next time someone successfully assists the target with aid, they get +2 instead of +1

Then roll+Cha. ✴On a 10+, the ally gets the selected effect. ✴On a 7-9, your spell still works, but you draw unwanted attention or your magic reverberates to other targets affecting them as well, GM’s choice.

Bardic Lore

Choose an area of expertise:

•A Bestiary of Creatures Unusual

When you first encounter an important creature, location, or item (your call) covered by your bardic lore you can ask the GM any one question about it; the GM will answer truthfully. The GM may then ask you what tale, song, or legend you heard that information in.

Charming and Open

When you speak frankly with someone, you can ask their player a question from the list below. They must answer it truthfully, then they may ask you a question from the list (which you must answer truthfully).

•Whom do you serve?

•What do you wish I would do?

•How can I get you to ______?

•What are you really feeling right now?

•What do you most desire?

A Port in the Storm

When you return to a civilized settlement you’ve visited before, tell the GM when you were last here. They’ll tell you how it’s changed since then.
