Peacemaking

Peacemaking in Ultima Online

Effect:

Area Peace:

All creatures (and players if your skill is GM or above) in the area, except you, will be thrown out of war mode.
Creatures will retarget in 2-10 seconds; alert players will retarget faster.
To use, activate the Peacemaking skill and target yourself.

Targeted Peace:

To use on a specific creature, target the creature after activating the skill.
If successful, the creature will stop fighting but will try to resume if attacked.
The creature will eventually break the effect no matter how skilled the bard is.
There is a 5-second delay after a successful attempt and a 10-second delay after a failure.

Range:

Note:

Targeted Peace does not work on player characters (PC) or non-player characters (NPC).

Using Peacemaking:

Also known as "Peacing," this skill requires some level of Musicianship.
It's valuable for a Bard and helpful for Animal Taming or Treasure Hunting.
Area Peacemaking: Activate the skill and target yourself to cease all aggression in the area for a few moments.
Targeted Peacemaking: Activate the skill and target a creature. If successful, the creature will stop attacking until sufficiently attacked or the bard loses line of sight for more than 10 seconds.
A difficulty check is performed each time based on the creature's Barding Difficulty versus the bard's combined skill in Musicianship and Peacemaking.

Training:

Obtain several musical instruments from a carpenter or NPC.
Use the Peacemaking skill and target yourself (Area Peacemaking) repeatedly until the desired skill level is achieved.
High-level creatures, such as Balrons or Ancient Wyrms, require very high levels of Peacemaking due to their high Barding Difficulty rating.
