About this mod Machine translation
This mod adds Support Magic in the form of a classic D&D style bard.
In Support Bards, your role is simple: cheer up your fellow players with the sweet sounds of (not-so) mellow music. The mod adds 30 spells so far, all of which are performed by playing the lute!
As a big Dungeons & Dragons player, something felt missing from my experience playing in Skyrim: not just bards as a whole, but bards being useful in combat. In this mod I aim to solve this problem.
All spells can be found in the Bard's Chest on the ground floor of Bard's Academy. I hope to add them to the list of magic vendors in the future and possibly create an npc bard in the bard's college.
Bard spellcasters boost casters less than allies. This is to promote teamwork and may also help with balance.
There are three versions of each spell, each with enhanced abilities and sometimes bonus effects. They are the weakest Tunes, the most effective melodies and ballads.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
