Peacemaking

Summary

• Players can use the Peacemaking skill to subdue enemies for a certain amount of time.
• Players may Pacify multiple creatures simultaneously.
• Skill usage cooldown:
  • 10 seconds on success.
  • 5 seconds on failure.
  • Players may alternate between using Peacemaking, Provoking, and Discordance every 5 seconds.
• The Bard Codex will greatly enhance the Peacemaking skill.

More Details

• A player's base Peacemaking skill is capped by their Musicianship skill. For example: A player with 50 Peacemaking and 25 Musicianship is considered to have 25 Peacemaking.
• A player's Effective Peacemaking Skill is calculated as:

 Peacemaking Skill + Instrument Skill Bonuses + Applicable Instrument Slayer Bonuses + Supplemental Skill Bonuses +
 Lyric Aspect Armor Bonus

• Players can increase their Effective Peacemaking Skill by using Forensic Eval and Tracking as supplemental skills.
• A player's total Peacemaking bonuses from Instruments, Supplemental Skill Bonuses, or Lyric Aspect Armor cannot exceed their Musicianship skill. For example: a player with 25 Musicianship could only gain up to 25 additional Peacemaking points from these bonuses.
• The Minimum Success Chance for any Barding activity is:

 (33% * (Effective Barding Skill / 100))

• Skill gain chance is doubled on a successful Peacemaking check.
• Pacification effect duration is:

 ((60 seconds - (Creature Difficulty Value)) * (Effective Barding Skill / 100))

• The minimum duration for Pacification is:

 15 * (Musicianship Skill / 100) seconds.

• If a player attempts to Pacify a Provoked creature (or vice versa), the existing barding effect is overwritten.
• Players attempting to use Peacemaking on a creature already Provoked or Discorded will gain an effective barding skill bonus of 25 on the Peacemaking attempt.
• Pacification effects on tamed creatures will last for a maximum of 15 seconds.
