Skald

Skalds hail from nearly all Barbarian lands, they are holders of tribal tradition and often used during battle to inspire allies and break the wills of their opponents. They are often quiet individuals except in combat during which they nearly always enter in a fevor of sound, violence and fury.

There are few sounds around that can match the skald's for causing fear and trepidation in an ememy's forces. Most skalds are multiclass Bard/Barbarians, but you occasionally see pure bards or other multiclass combinations.
