ST Cooley's first publication is targeted directly for players who wish to improve the mechanics for the 3E bard class as presented in the PHB (particularly bardic music). If you don't play a bard or don't care about bards, don't bother reading this review and don't buy this book. For those of...

My quest for a chanting CD ever goes on... Thanks guys... who knows maybe I'll just record that one myself....

Just my two cents on Monte's bard: It is reall cool for those characters who want to play a stringed instrument, like a lute or harp. I mean, it kicks some ass! But those who want to play a drum or flute or even just sing cannot cast the higher level "spellchord" or "spellmelody" abilities...

Thank you all for the quick responses! I have some checking out I plan on doing. All the best to the d20 community! (And those who play bards!!!)

Our new forum on how to improve the bard Bardic music seemed to be the great ability from letting bards just be a "generalist". And then someone fell asleep at the wheel by stopping at Inspire Greatness.... The spell selection really does leave alot to be desired. Getting cures was really...

For the record, I really appreciate the quality of well-tempered responses on this thread. It's a breath of fresh air. Neg Zero: Thanks! I'll send over some of what I have. Staffan/Hong: You must have some very lucky spellcasters in your campaign! At least once a battle, someone is...

Hong: sorry... a) misunderstanding on the Rgr - Mnk thing. I didn't mean a multiclass Rgr/Mnk. I meant individually a Rgr OR a Mnk could out-bard a bard with skill points. I agree that multiclassing for sp is a bad idea as it destroys good roleplaying. given that do you still...

Droogie: you know I would agree that it was overkill if.... * bardic music did anything beyond 9th level (12 ranks)... * I like the new bardic musics in 2E, than in 3E. But they still are really defensive and subtle. * the bardic spells weren't so dumbed down. 2e allowed bards to be a...

Aside from Monte's BOEMII, are there any d20 publishers planning to print any supplements on the Bard?

Neg Zero -- you may never have DMed before, but I think your assessment is right on. All the examples used so far are power-game tactics, but they all focus on one skill. That can be explained in a role-playing manner (Olympian). When it's +11 to 2-3 skills at first level.... OK something's...

At least it wasn't as bad as the Dungeons and Dragons movie! elechhh! I wish I could demagnetize the part of my brain that saw it....

Chanting & The Bridge at Kazad-dhun While, I understand the disappointment with the majority of the soundtrack I really did find the almost dwarven sounding chants during "The Bridge at Kazad-dhun" chilling. Does anyone know of another piece of music with this kind of chanting? I would love...

Manual of the Planes.... but only because my characters are knee-deep in an epic Prime Material Campaign..... Give it time, and it will be used.... :D

Whoops! Sorry Eryx! Meant to post my reply to Staffan! Sorry Eryx! My bad! :(

More like Master of One... Eryx: not to turn this thread into the "Bard's Suck" thread on the Wotc boards, but I'd like to refute your claim of "jack of all trades, master of none"... A ranger, monk, and bard all have 4 sp. But if the bard wants to cast spells and use bardic music, Perform...
