-<WRAP center round info 80%> +Using Minstrel Talents is very noticeable visually and audibly, and makes [[priority:skills:stealth|Stealth]] impossible.
-All Minstrel Talents take the form of **Songs**. Unless otherwise stated, a Minstrel may only play one Song at a time. Songs provide beneficial effects to whoever the Minstrel considers to be their ally, at discretion of the Minstrel. A creature must be able to see or hear the Minstrel, depending on the performance type, to receive the correlated bonuses. Unless otherwise listed, playing a Song takes 1 MP or 1 TP per round. Beginning a Song is a Standard Action, maintaining a Song is a Move Action, and ending a Song is a Free Action.+
