So did they just drop modularity ? This is what has me worried.

[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 5996097, member: 1465"] My knowledge is practically limited to the 3ed Bard, the spellcasting of which used the mechanic of the Sorcerer but had a spell list that seemed like a smaller version of the Wizard/Sorcerer's list plus spells from other lists. My guess is that the Bard will follow the trend of all other spellcasters in 5e, i.e. unique mechanics and own spell list (although this will at least overlap with others). I don't really know how the Bard originally was conceived... but sometimes I got the feeling that it had a bit of everyone's spellcasting abilities, possibly explained by having occasionally learned spare spells from a variety of sources, thanks to being a jack-of-all-trades exposed to different stray knowledge. So what if instead of another spellcasting mechanical variant and another separate spell list, the 5e Bard had simply the ability to "dip" into everybody else spell lists? (I guess then some mechanic still needs to be chosen... how about the same mechanic as the Wizard but obviously lesser numbers and replacing Int with Cha?) [/QUOTE]
