'GUARDED VOICE' (1283)
A bard with this edge has, over time, developed a fighting style which better
protects their most crucial asset in any fight: their voice. They are less
likely to suffer an attack which deprives them of their ability to sing,
although this is not entirely without its drawbacks. For example, a dagger
thrown to strike the bard's throat has a chance to be avoided or deflected, but
in the process can strike the bard elsewhere, even if the throw would have
otherwise missed. Despite these risks, the benefits can be significant.
