I already answered this in various posts earlier in the thread. I'm don't feel like repeating myself from a months-old thread, so I'm sure if you read through the first handful of pages you'll find this question answered.What design problem are you solving for? What would you give Bards to make up for a lack of full casting that would not destabilize the game's combat model? You already have subclasses that gain a second attack and I have never seen anyone indicating that College of Valor or College of Swords are particularly strong.
More feats. It seems the game is moving in the direction of feats as core rules, with short feat chains for certain themes.What would you give Bards to make up for a lack of full casting that would not destabilize the game's combat model?
Mechanics don't fit the theme. Bards in myth and fiction (Alan a Dale, Jaskier etc) are not known for their awesome spellcasting.What design problem are you solving for?
Taliesin/Merlin on the other hand is. Do either Alan a Dale or Jaskier have any magic at all? I think I'd class them both as rogues over even half-casters.Mechanics don't fit the theme. Bards in myth and fiction (Alan a Dale, Jaskier etc) are not known for their awesome spellcasting.
Merlin is a druid or wizard. At this point in D&D history the bard is the minstrel archetype, not a Celtic archetype. they haven't had druid spells since 1st edition.Taliesin/Merlin on the other hand is.
