Yeah, bards have always been the role-player's class, the one you played if you wanted to be a sensitive, soul-searching warrior/poet on a quest to find inner peace. And yes, the bard can still do all of that. 
Untold wonders and secrets exist for those skillful enough to discover them. Through cleverness, talent, and magic, these cunning few unravel the wiles of the world, becoming adept in the arts of persuasion, manipulation, and inspiration. Typically masters of one or many forms of artistry, bards possess an uncanny ability to know more than they should and use what they learn to keep themselves and their allies ever one step ahead of danger. Bards are quick-witted and captivating, and their skills might lead them down many paths, be they gamblers or jacks-of-all-trades, scholars or performers, leaders or scoundrels, or even all of the above. For bards, every day brings its own opportunities, adventures, and challenges, and only by bucking the odds, knowing the most, and being the best might they claim the treasures of each.
 
But now, the bard can do all of that while using his +5 Flute to hack the heads off bad guys twice a round, cast Haste and Dance of a Thousand Cuts, and buff the entire party against pretty much anything.  So, in between all the role-playing and writing mash notes to the local tribal princess, we hope you don't mind a little freakin' awesome-time.
 
Give a bard a try!  It's not what you think it is.


'''Role:''' Bards capably confuse and confound their foes while inspiring their allies to ever-greater daring. While accomplished with both weapons and magic, the true strength of bards lies outside melee, where they can support their companions and undermine their foes without fear of interruptions to their performances.
