The insanity hath arived!
Things I would suggest for the bard.
1. The Gorgeous feat from the Kingdoms of kalamar Players Guide. It increases your Charisma by 2 for the purposes of good looks. Any diplomacy/charisma check you have to make is increased if they can see you. It also adds some flavour' (it's french cause I used a '
) to those instances where a little bat of the eye or dashing smile could come in handy.
2. For another feat: Eyes of Fury. Your gaze alone strikes fear into your enemies. a charisma based intimidation that actually pummels the morale of your enemy. A must have for someone wanting to appear intimidating.
Read up on the Theatre of the Arts. When I played my Basiran Dancer (Rhaine...may Raconteur bless her soul) knowledge of this temple was a must! Use it to your advantage for getting more buck outta those nifty performances.
Use those language options wisely. If your dm is anything like me, you'll find that multiple dialects do, infact, hamper conversation. Also, there's a lot of different races, and every region has it's own dialect of each language. It can get confusing, and oh so fun for us DM's.
Get as much information as you can when in certain areas. Some have STRONG racial hatred against specific races...And worse still, some have problems with certain classes.
If you have any other questons stop by the forum at:
