War chanters are virtuous bards who, more than other bards, choose to emulate rather than to merely sing of the ancient heroes of old. War chanters seek to inspire others to action, while taking it themselves, rousing others to bravery with their own acts of heroism. War chanters do not abandon their bardic roots, however, instead using their music and training to help carry others through battle, preserving their morale, becoming inspiring leaders who fight beside the men and women they lead.
