Greyhawk - The Old Lore

[Gwaihir]

In reading through the Living Greyhawk Journal in preparation for running the STAP in Greyhawk, I noticed a paragraph about the Old Lore (pg 161). It almost seems as if this paragraph was written with a 1E bard in mind. (to my memory)

Is there a presitige class or core class for that matter that is used for an Old Lore Bard? The LGG seems to make pains to note that they aren't everyday common bards.

Fochluchan Lyricist from the Complete Adventurer. The class is roughly based on the 1e bard. But I say roughly because they tried to do a bard/druid theurge rather than making it a druid who gains bardic music (like the 1e bard). So I don't really like it that much. But it is the closest thing there is to a 1e bard in 3.5.

I like the article on Old Lore by the way. It makes me nostalgic. The idea of a fighter/rogue/bard is really old school. But honestly, the best way to do it would be a fighter/rogue/bard gestalt character who casts spells from the druid list instead of the bard list. Otherwise, keep the class mechanically the same.

IIRC, Fred Weining's Old Lore Bard was cut from the LGG as a prestige class, and he had posted it to his now-long-defunct website. I'm sure that I've got the files for it somewhere, Gwaihir---shoot me an email, and I'll see if I can dig them up.

Post a link if you find it, please.

I've never seen a 1e Bard in any edition, but I've always wanted to.

I dug up my old hard-drive, and its not on there, and that's where I thought it would be if I had it. I'll put a call out to some GH folks and see if they can provide the files.
