I am not trolling man. LOL
I really want to know what people think about this. I mean we barely have anyone play a bard in our group because the concept is just so silly. I wanna know who else feels that way or if my group is the weird one
Magic in D&D is still pseudo-Vancian. This isn't 4E, where you can just re-fluff spells however you want and it doesn't matter because nothing means anything. When a bard cast Cure Wounds, they are doing so by following the rules of magic, which has a scientifically predictable effect depending on the spell slot they spend.He's the party member whose magic through very Speech Itself can ease tired muscles or recharge your flagging stamina. The Bard can be thought of not just a charismatic compatriot, who is great to have around, but as a person who is a practicioner of truename speech and can rearrange the world just through naming it in the Primordial tongue. He is no less magical than a wizard, and using an art arguably older than wizardry.
Uh... there's nothing in the rules of magic that says it doesn't work the way [MENTION=158]Henry[/MENTION] described. The verbal component in cure wounds is not specified to be an Elanesque silly ditty.Magic in D&D is still pseudo-Vancian.

Regardless of what you try to re-fluff the bard into, it is and always will be the mechanical representation of Elan.
