Minstrel
With song and tale, a Minstrel brings hope to places thick with gloom. She can inspire those with desperate minds and heavy hearts to great deeds. In battle, she can turn the tide with songs that strengthen her allies and dirges which strike fear into the hearts of enemies.


 
  '...in the midst of their merriment and tears the clear voice of the minstrel rose like silver and gold, and all men were hushed.'
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, "The Field of Cormallen"
  



Available to: Man, Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit

The Minstrel is the class of choice for players who want to aid their friends, inspiring them to keep going through the darkest of times. With a vast repertoire of tales both fair and foul, a Minstrel restores the morale of her fellows, as well as causing enemies to despair.

Though able to wield weapons, she prefers to let her words, rather than her sword, speak for her. A Minstrel's style of combat is based on maintaining hope no matter what the odds.

 


 
  Minstrel Skills  
 
 Inspire Fellows Words of encouragement renew the morale of the Minstrel's fellowship and increase its vigour.
 Noble Cause  The next three Herald's Strikes that the Minstrel executes do extra damage and return part of that as morale to her group.
 Raise The Spirit  The Minstrel's words of encouragement renew the morale of a companion.
 Song of Distraction A song that can make the Minstrel's target become drowsy and not detect players until they are much closer than normal. This does not work against monsters already engaged in combat.
 Song of the Dead This song causes undead to freeze in fear.
