[QUOTE="Hawke, post: 4680087, member: 61721"] For a few weeks now I've been playing a level 5 genasi windsoul bard. I've got fantastic charisma and am having a lot of fun playing a very charismatic liar during non-combat encounters... enjoying introducing myself with several different names and always different professions and links to the storyline. In combat, the crunch is pretty fun and useful for my party. I'm throwing guys around left and right and enjoying helping my party out. But I'm having so much trouble grokking the [i]intended[/i] bard power fluff - singing songs, reciting poems, etc. to get the desired results. It's easy enough to reflavor it as arcane bolts from my wand or as more of a wind-powered magic based on my genasi heritage... I'd rather spend some energy and get my head around the intended Bard. Not necessarily cause i'm not having fun now, but I just have an inkling to understand the class that I've never played before. Any tips? Anybody play the 4E Bard and have some thoughts on character design? [/QUOTE]
