[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6394634, member: 13009"] I am a self proclaimed power gamer and one of my characters is a half-elf bard. Half-elf just synchronizes with bard very well, the stat bump to charisma, the skills, darkvision is nice. Bards are very versatile, one of the best spellcasters in the game, magical secrets lets them cherry pick spells from any other spell list. So they can get ranger and paladin spells earlier and more often than those classes do. If new spells come out in splat books all of them are free game to pick. For example, if you rule contagion works instantly when the target is touched it is a legendary monster killer, not normally a bard spell but magic secrets lets him take it. The lore bard because of early access to magic secrets is nice, but he might go for valor so that he can get the extra attack and later the ability to attack and cast a spell, both are nice. Overall I don't think the race class combination is exploiting anything so all should be good, it is just bard went from one of the sub par classes to power game with to honestly one the best classes in the game. As a side note bards get access to most of the best raise dead spells in the game. [/QUOTE]
