    War Skald
    Race: Centaur | Class: Bard, Warrior | Size: Small | Rarity: Rare | Faction: K'thir Forest
    Artwork: A thin but muscular female centaur is surrounded by numerous skeletal hands. Her arms and hands are ablur with movement as she strikes out relentlessly against her many foes. She wields double short-swords and is dressed in flowing blood-red ribbons.
    Flavor-Text: The War Skalds of the Centaur Plains seem to dance in the midst of battle. They are a beauty to behold for some and a terror for others.
    Nora Cost: ???

    Really cool design, but might have too much self synergy (I.e. be op as FCK). Maybe drop the encouraged bit and replace with something like quest runner or aggressive?

    I was hoping something "bardy" would be on base. I knew AP GEN like Battle Drum would be too much. I am happy to replace Command: Encourage but would want something that boosts the morale of allies.

    Also, about it being OP already, I did purposefully make sure it doesn't have Mobility and so it needs to rely on the font bonus or other means to gain Mobility. It also can't be the target of Time Slip. It also pretty low damage when on a 1v1 scenario. Who knows how strong it would be in real play?

    Anyway, what bard ability, new or existing would be nice on base? Hopefully it would be a cheap ability because I think this one would already be costly.:)

    Courageous Dance- Friendly champions within 5 spaces gain Courage and Unstoppable until the end of the next turn. CD 4: AP: 2.

    The damage boost from Courage would only affect champions that were already hurt. Might be interesting as a replacement for Command: Encourage.

    I took Command: Encourged and replaced it with the new Bard ability, Courageous Dance.

    I see your Courageous Dance and raise you this:
    Courageous Dance - Friendly Champions within 5 spaces gain Courage, Reverie (+1 DMG) and Fearless until the end of next turn. CD: 4 AP: 3.

    Both are fine, though with Prestige as an upgrade there is some overlap in Fearless.

    Aggressive is getting removed next patch. Confirmed by Sok in one of the threads in bug reports.
