[QUOTE="BRP2, post: 3196692, member: 47499"] I'm curious what people have in mind for this Bard I'm thinking up for the campaign: keep in mind there are no clerics or druids, or normal healing classes. -No Spells -No alignment restrictions -"Jack-of-all-trades": Bonus Feat at level 2 and 5, choice out of the following: Acrobatic, Agile, Alertness, Animal Affinity, Deceitful, Deft Hands, Diligent, Investigator, Magic Aptitude, Negotiator, Nimble Fingers, and Persuasive. -Survival, Handle Animal, and Heal become class skills. (I don't think Heal is a class-skill is it?) -"Bard Combat Styles": Bonus Feat at level 3, 8, 13, read below. -Most, if not all, Marshal's minor and major Auras are changed into Bardic Music of various levels. Some spells that were vital to Bards could also be replaced by Bardic Music. -Because the above change could add A LOT of "songs", aside from the current songs the PHB lists, Bards might be limited to a knowing a certain amount of songs very similar to spells. Either way, the amount of times they can use Bardic Music will greatly increase. Included in this would be a song that gives Fast Healing, which grows in strength as the Bard levels, and likely, if I use the "Songs Known" system, would be considered a PHB song, so all Bards get access to it. This would be the Bard's primary source of healing. -I know this is probably noted already in the original source, but Bards are not limited to song/instrument. Bards can use chants, likely popular among barbaric nomads, speech, or poetry to inspire. I might want to change the name of Bard to reflect this, to something like Inspirer. Any one have any ideas ;p? Bard Fighting Styles... three come to mind, but more could be created: Throwing Dagger: When throwing daggers: "Point-Blank Shot", "Precise Shot", and "Rapid Shot" Finesse Fighter: When using a light weapon: "Weapon Finesse", er, whatever, getting tired atm.
