[QUOTE="Baumi, post: 4533340, member: 2569"] Cool! I wasn't sure about the Wand as Implement since it might fit mechanical, but from the fluff it's not especially Bard-like ... but picturing a Bard as someone who stands back, sings and control the battlefield like a maestro fits so damn well. :cool: About overpowered class features... After reading the Virtues again, I have to agree that they seem very powerful. But I would have to play a bard first before I could say if this is to powerful or not. As I said before, the song of rest is not that great since a leader usually already uses his Healing Powers at a short rest. If you could rest 5 minutes than a 10 minute Rest shouldn't be a big problem. Since the Bard is partly controller (like all Arcane Classes) I don't see a problem with the sliding. He still doesn't trump the Warlord in that regard and I think at higher levels his powers will be become more differenciated when you can allow stronger status effects (Wizard has the same problem). What I do fear is that the ability to mutliclass multiple times might get us some broken combos in the hand of a Min-Maxer. [/QUOTE]
