[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 9402433, member: 6803643"] I'm so glad that they kept the Arcane/Divine/Primal spell lists in the forms of the Wizard/Cleric/Druid spell lists, since this clearly identifies that Bards are tapping into all 3 of these magical traditions. But more so, I prefer this to selecting one list and then getting all of them at 10 -- instead you get a Bard list that is sort of a hybrid of all three from the start and at level 10 you have the largest spell list in the game to draw on, and with that you can really craft an Arcane, Divine, or Primal Bard, or likely some wild fusion of any or all of these! This is the best possible outcome for the Bard given the loss of the Power Source spell lists. I wish they hadn't left me worrying about this for months by never showing us the revised Bard after the death of the Power Source spell lists, but I guess I should have had more faith. I was literally holding my breath on whether I'd have to homebrew a Bard class variation that preserved this UA feature because it felt so RIGHT for my idea of Bards. Now I'm glad I don't have to tinker with the playtesting further myself. <3 [/QUOTE]
