But, honestly, is the guy singing and rocking his life during the skirmish any weirder or less sensible than his teammate in the dress and pointy hat waving a stick around? I can't see how.Now the whole "music is magic" thing may not fit with all games...It's not all that grim and gritty. However, from my reading, the 5e Bard can be easily skinned as a Jack of all Trades style officer like Croaker from Black Company. This is especially true if you're willing to squint and pretend some spells aren't really magic. The music is not fundamentally part of it.  That, I can really get behind and support. That said, I thought Bard was where Warlord would find a home as a subclass or two, and I don't think they quite got there.
