[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 1365677, member: 7464"] A good concept my wife was going to run (but the campaign never got off the ground) was a Dwarven Bard. Now, he wasn't a "bard" in the traditional sense, but considered himself to be a Historian. Lots of ranks in Knowledge (History), Profession (Teacher), Diplomacy, etc... Performace style: Lecture (hey, it's a performace if you're good at it). Inspire Courage during battle is little more than droning on about dull historical subjects so that your allies will all fight harder so the battle will end sooner and you'll shut up. If you get into the scholarly dwarf concept, remember to include a meticulously trimmed beard and hair, spectacles, a taste for only the best fine wine (loathes ale), high-falootin' vocabulary, etc... How do you explain the spellcasting? Well, "I read once that the great sorcerer Killabugaboo made fire by rubbing his hands together like [i]so[/i] and saying these words..." poof! [i]Burning Hands[/i]. But, for some reason, he can't seem to teach anybody else to learn to do what he picks up from the most obscure historical texts. [/QUOTE]
