Actually, you're mistaken. barding skills have long been disabled in Obsidian, but the Discordance skill in particular is a UO debuff. It replaced the skill 'Enticement' and originally reduced a creatures stats.

However, as of Age of Shadows, Discordance reduces physical resistance, all elemental resistances, and skills by up to 20% at Grandmaster and 28% and Legendary. Swing rate, damage, and chance to evade are directly reduced; this is in addition to the skill reduction of anatomy, tactics, lumberjacking, weapon skill, wrestling, parry, etc.

I'm aware that Obsidian is still firmly an 'oldskool' implementation of UO, but we are still highly customised and unique so this would easily fit in.
