Lullabye allows a bard to use the powerful persuasion of his or her singing voice in an attempt to woo a single target, usually a creature to fall asleep. Depending upon the hidden endroll, the target may experience varying degrees of drowsiness, react more slowly than normal, be calmed, sit, or fall completely asleep, becoming prone. Undead and demon type creatures are significantly more resistant to this spells effects, being both more likely to resist outright and unable to suffer the more significant effects.

Once Lullabye'd, attacking the target will wake it up from the spellsong's effects if it was sleeping, but the slow effect will remain for a short duration.

Note: Lullabye is not renewable and not stackable upon itself.

Success Factors

  • Influence bonus
  • Spellsong Ranks
  • Level Difference
  • Targets Discipline Bonus
  • Targets Active Spells
  • Targets Undead/Demonic Status

The exact formula below was provided by GM Estild:

For the bard, it takes their ((level * 5) + bard spell ranks + Influence bonus + d150), then subtracts the target's ((level * 5) + (level / 2) + Discipline bonus + 25 from Self Control (613) + 25 from Strength of Will (1119) + 30 for undead or demonic creatures). If the end result is >= 0, it's successful. There are 4 success tiers, which is determined by the ((end result / 40) + 1) (min. 1, max. 4), with undead and demonic creatures also adding 1 (for rounding), but then reducing the result by half.
