    Why Are Bards...Bards?

    I forgot about this. Funny- there was a feat just published in either Dragon or Complete Adventurer that combined bard and paladin abilities. Guess that kind of doesn't work, does it. Two choices: 1) In the rules, play neutral with respect to law and chaos, with more of a lawful leaning. 2)...
