the Lorax
First Post
In many areas, the mechanical weakness of the bard has been discussed. I decided to craft a series of feats for my campaign world which had several goals:
a-Primarily useful to bards/require bard levels to obtain
b-Mostly useful to bards/bardic abilities
c-Be better than an esisting feat
d-Add color to my campaign world
As a note, the marker "[Trait]" indicates a feat that can only be taken at first level.
