Conductor Kit for Bards
v 1.00
by Zyraen

Every Conductor sparks a most enchanting charm that they use to electrify their audiences in every sense of the word. Just through their performances, Conductors can channel electricity and possibly even set alight all those who incur their wrath, and their mastery of Electrical and Lightning spells is unparalleled even when compared against Mages.
However, their limitations are many. Their art requires use of small single-handed weapons, the proper timing means they may not be quick on their feet while performing, and since their calling is to be the centre of attention, a Conductor can never use invisibility of any sort.

I always felt the class suited him better anyway. Now he can literally be the centre of Attention.


Note : I just put it under Hidden Kits as its too minor to warrant its own forum. Its definitely NOT a Hidden Kit.
