revelation about bards

[mach1.9pants]

It's a *tunic* thank you. But you'll notice he has no pants.

No pants?! You say.

He's a bard! I say.

I guess it is for the bonus to Stealth

The only flaw with your logic is that having an annoying companion whose only job is to point out things isn't a bard class feature.

That's just the refluffing of his Bardic Knowledge ability.

Easily re-fluffed as a +5 bonus to "Hey! Listen!".

OTOH, BEING an annoying companion whose only job is to point out things IS a bard class feature.

(I keed, I keed- I love bards.)

Hey, a Skald-type bard and a "Lazy" Warlord Pixie can make a pretty fun team!

And you'd better. A bard doesn't have to kick your butt physically - they are the masters of the PR-machine.

As they say, "Do not meddle in the affairs of bards, for your name is funny, and scans to Greensleeves."

But then it would make Bardic Knowledge the most useless class ability since it would only report back things you can learn by taking a 5 or 10 on a roll. It would be like.

Bard: "Hey, Rogue! Listen! That door is closed. You might want to check if it is trapped before you open it."
Rogue: Well.. duh.. thank you Mr. Obvious.
Bard: "Hey, Mage! Listen! You are about to run out of spells you need to rest for 8 hours before you can cast any more."
Mage: "I know!"
Bard: "Hey Little child! Listen! Don't talk to strangers."
Child: "Uh..."

In one 2e game the bard I played was I essentially a spell singer.. guess what happened when we fought in a dungeon while trying to find the big bad and prevent her from getting an artifact.. yeah... "I pointed out where our group was."

It was all good... until the bad guy disintegrated my bard.... along with the group's bag of holding he was carrying..

So this confirms that bards shouldnt carry bags of holding, but that bags of holding should carry bards. I always suspected we were gaming wrong.

My buddy played a gnome bard and one time we had a "bard-off" between him and an NPC bard. It was epic, no dice just roleplay. [MENTION=19675]Dannyalcatraz[/MENTION] Alas, no pants were taken off. (Though on second though perhaps that was for the best)

A competent bard can find a rude rhyme for "Sir Basil."

An epic bard can find a rude rhyme for "Glarnyrixturflgnnnnn"...in Common, Infernal, Draconic and Celestial.

Bards get way more awesome when you're built like a rugby player and take Perform (haka).
