 {{flavour|Formidable warriors in their own rights, Skalds practice a form of augmenting battle magic that is either chanted or sung. Unique to the highlands in which they originate, these spells and formulae are second nature: they can either inspire greatness in themselves and their allies, or fear in the hearts of their enemies.}}
-'''Skalds''' are warriors who use magical [[Charms]] to bolster their fighting skills. Because heavy armor hinders spellcasting, many of them prefer lighter armor than more traditional [[Fighter]]s.

 ===Spell Strategy===
 [[Infusion (spell)|Infusion]] adds extra damage, but this damage is reduced by [[AC]]. It'll help you against early [[adder]]s, [[gnoll (monster)|gnolls]], and [[ogre (monster)|ogres]], but does almost nothing against armoured targets like [[orc warrior]]s.
 [[Shroud of Golubria]] is a useful defensive spell to keep up whenever you enter into dangerous melee combat. [[Ozocubu's Armour]] further increases your defense, but it ends if you move, and it only works if you have light armour. Both are worth casting, at least if you get the skill to use Spectral Weapon.
 [[Song of Slaying]] creates significant [[noise]], attracting monsters to your location... but it gives a significant [[slay]] bonus. Use it in hallways or other chokepoints, where groups are more manageable.

 ==Strategy==
-Skalds are a 'hybrid-melee' starts. They often prefer lighter armour than your typical melee, but have a number of buff spells to make up for it. Like with other backgrounds, Skald is only a start - it's perfectly reasonable to go heavy armour and abandon Spellcasting (either for a while or for the rest of the game).

 Skalds often prefer to start with [[Polearms]], so that Spectral Weapon can take advantage of its reaching.
