Bard

Character Class: Bard

(From the Light Ed.)

Playing the Bard:[]

Bards thrive and survive (quite well if accomplished) on the power of music. They are skilled in the ways of entertainment. From stage acting to music to storytelling, Bards are a social necessity. They have the duty and the responsibility to breathe life into the tales of brave heroes and magnificent events of yesterday.

Advantages:[]

Special Miracle Abilities: If the Bards elect, they may know the Miracles: Holy Songs skill, which allows them to perform Holy Miracles in the form of song.

Limitations:[]

Bards prefer the use of fine clothing or perhaps decorative leatherwear. They prefer not to wear metal armor or any armor that is more for function than it is for appearance. Though Bards prefer not to pursue a career of fighting, they may elect to learn some Weapons Skills. This affords confidence and protection during brawls while playing those numerous tavern gigs.
