Message: <blockquote data-quote="JPL" data-source="post: 4820414" data-attributes="member: 1964">Warrior, thief, spy, poet, woodland champion -- the Fochlucan lyrist is a legendary figure who serves as the herald and teacher to great kings, the champion of the common folk, and the keeper of lore long forgotten elsewhere. Only the best and brightest are invited to become Fochlucan lyrists, and those who eventually win the approval of the Fochlucan College's masters are remarkable individuals indeed, skilled in swordplay, magic, and diplomacy.So . . . the Fochlucan Lyrist prestige class from 3.5 was itself an homage to the convoluted glory of the 1st edition bard (a unique fighter-turned-thief-turned-druid, with a smattering of unique bardic abilities).Now how would one attempt something like this in 4th Edition?  Bard - Druid [hybrid]  / Seeker of the Seven?  Bard with paragon multiclassing as druid?  Maybe throw in Skill Training - Stealth and Thievery?  Since the warden is a cousin to the druid, I'd be tempted to throw some warden combos into the mix --- that would satisfy both the "swordsman" and "keeper of natural lore" requirements.So maybe the default build here is bard, either hybrid classed or multiclassed into warden or druid, using feats to pick up a couple of key rogue skills.Of course, all of these mixes suffer from multiple ability score dependence, but that comes with the territory for a weird build like this.Your thoughts?</blockquote>
