Only Bards and Gnome Paladins drink New Coke. Says so in the bible.
The path of the righteous player is beset on all sides by the inequities of the Elves and the tyranny of Bards. Blessed is he who, in the name of St. Cuthbert and Pholtus, shepherds the weak through the Valley of the Mage. For he is truly his party's keeper and the finder of the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger the Bards and Elves who attempt to poison and destroy my party. And you will know I am a Paladin subclass when I lay my vengeance upon you!
