[QUOTE="Dark Psion, post: 3037258, member: 959"] You can also play up the Lore ability by having your Bard be the tactician. He may inspire others just by going over the battleplan and cueing each PC at the right moment. Also, he can boost his alies by pointing out the weekness and vulnerabilities of a foe. "That is a Ghast, your crowbar will work better than your blade becuse it is cold iron" The 2e Complete Bard's Handbbook had the following kits; Blade: Juggles daggers, swallows swords and does archery trick shots Charlatan: Con-man and Grifter Gallant: Knight who is more showman than fighter Gypsy: Dance, fortune telling and circus tricks Herald: Spy, Diplomat and Courtier Jester: Clown, Scapegoat and Comedian Jongleur: Acrobat, Tightrope walker and Show off Loremaster: Sage, Historian and Archeologist Meistersinger: Pied Piper, Animal Charmer and Horse whisperer Riddlemaster: A MacGuyver who can solve any problem Skald: The Viking stlye poet/warrior Thespian: Actor who can be anyone, like the Pretender [/QUOTE]
