Actually in the phb it details the other power sources, check out the phb page 54 "Future power sources include elemental, ki, primal, psionic, and shadow."

Well the thing is, I designed the bard to follow in line with the other two classes. I'll admit things are still needing to be panned out. And the reason I didn't put the bard in a pure support role is because frankly, its boring. In 3rd edition a bard was just that. Started singing, kept on...

I edited my post above showing my thoughts on some of your ideas. Update- September 20, 2008: After some free time I finally managed to glance over the bard again and tweaked it a little bit. Among the changes are addition of armor proficiency (chain), removal of the rapier, and an assortment...

Yes you can, and if you don't mind could you post a link to the blog? If you haven't read the rest of the thread I've stated the difference between a cleric's sacred flame and this power at least twice. A cleric can do this at range, and the ally can gain grant temp hp or a save. This one was...

That would be correct. The newest one posted in the "update" section. However, I've been trying to work on a new update in my spare time, things have just been hectic recently.

I'm glad you liked it. However I am unaware of any conversion for the sha'ir class as of yet. I'm glad you like it. Nobody likes devis, the dnd psa's are right, he's been outsourced :). As for the multi-class feat, it MUST be consistent with the others. The defender's ones allow them to mark...

If you haven't noticed, almost all encounter powers in 4e do not have lingering effects that last longer than one round. It is very rare. I haven't read the entire class entirely, but I will have to agree with the others, a lot of this stuff is a little too good to be true. Also another note...

#1 the bard isn't a paladin. #2 sacred flame gives charisma modifier + 1/2 level + its a ranged attack. I addressed this twice in this thread already. Righteous brand works on all melee attacks until the end of your next turn, this also includes opportunity attacks and any power that includes...

There was a spell in spell compendium in 3.5 that recorded a tune you already have played and repeated it, called ghost harp I believe. Thus if you had the perform (sing) skill, you could always be accompanied by your favorite song. The bard does not gain proficiency with a shield. Thus if...

Most songs tell a story or are a form of poetry. Now to answer your questions. Bardic instruments work "exactly" like a holy symbol. The only difference between them is a bardic instrument only works on "bard" powers and the holy symbol does not. See page 236 of the phb for reference purposes...

Well considering that bardic instruments can be held or just worn around the body, it really doesn't seem necessary. Granted a scarf seems pretty damn trendy for a bard. I like it. As long as its not used as a weapon to strangle some people... :devil:

I already put it up and here are the links. The links also are on the first post of the thread. http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/00c3f43792_1.38MB http://www.badongo.com/file/10099912

I have changed this already and will be in the new compilation. and yes it is 1d6, but only a static -2 to the target's next attack roll. This is a very good idea and I will probably use it if you don't mind. I will admit it is a bit unclear, thus I will alter the description and tweak it a...

No but the rogue gets blinding barrage which is probably worse than being stunned and its an burst effect which works on multiple targets. so yeah... ;) See guarding attack and warlord's favor from the warlord especially when coupled with their respective "presences". Adding a bonus to ac...

That is a damn good observation. I just had an image of a bard using a greataxe as a makeshift lute/weapon. Hmm, I'll get on it probably later tonight/tommorow. I'm really enjoying the suggestions you guys are throwing out there. I guess I'll wait till later in the week to collect more...
