Shinobi Bard (Character Kit)

__NOTOC__
==Shinobi Bard==
Qualifications: This kit is available to humans and half-elf bards only.
Description and Role: The Shinobi Bard is specially trained to entertain people and to lend magical knowledge to a ninja mission. She is often paired with Intruder and Consort ninja, whose abilities are most suited to interacting with other people.
The Shinobi Bard is weaker in spellcraft than an ordinary bard but is somewhat better at thieving skills.
She is often called on to strike up a song or put on a show to distract people while her brethren carry out the quiet and sneaky parts of a mission. For this reason, a player who wants to be where the action is should not take this type of character, while a PC who likes being the center of crowd attention while his allies are doing the dirty work would have a good time in this role.
Secondary Skills: Scribe.
Weapon Proficiencies: No bonuses, requirements, or prohibitions.
Nonweapon Proficiencies: Required: Reading/Writing.
Special Benefits: The Shinobi Bard has a wider range of thief skills and generally higher starting values than an ordinary bard.

Subsequent progression of thieving skills follows the normal bard class.
Special Hindrances: The Shinobi Bard learns bard spells at a slower rate than ordinary bards. Treat her as though she were two experience levels lower when determining spell progression. Thus, a Shinobi Bard learns her first spell at 4th level.
