Bard

A bard is a versatile class, capable in both combat and the casting of magic. Bards use their artistic talents to induce magical effects that either bolster their party or hinder their enemy.

Bard Abilities
Bards are among the most versatile of classes. While not necessarily as tough as a fighter, as skilled as a rogue or as intelligent as a wizard, the bard class combines all these aspects, and more, to be a 'jack-of-all-trades' support character.


 * Bardic Songs : The bards' most renowned ability is their unique ability to sing bardic songs.


 * Bardic Lore : Along with their other abilities, bards have an uncanny knack to know legendary information about magic items they may encounter.

2nd Edition
The second edition of the game had strict requirements for a Bardic character and required that the character train in the Fighter, Thieves, and finally Druid guilds making the characters divine based instead of magic.

3rd Edition
With version 3.0 of the game, bards switched to magic based characters with spells specific to their class.
