Talk:Bard

From Shape Shifter

Musical Instruments

Thought about making a bard's powers be based on the instrument he plays. Lute, Harp, Violin are good examples. Not sure how the powers would change based on the instrument. Perhaps there are bards that only specialize in a specific instrument. This would tie into how the ranger currently is built around using a bow, and a knight is built around using a shield.

Initial Thoughts

Most players never want to be a Bard. I guess there just isn't anything appealing about singing. However, I think a bard becomes a very viable option with the creative maneuvers at his or her disposal now.
