[QUOTE="Grinn, post: 6838814, member: 6819703"] Hello! First post here, and it's a "help me with a build post" :erm:. You all seem quite knowledgeable, and I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to building a bard. So, why Aarakocra? And why bard? I have a good role-playing idea for an Aarakocra bard that can't actually sing, but thinks he can (yet, his musical prowess, or lack thereof, still seems to fire off his spells). He also has what I call "bird turrets" which causes him to randomly squawk when he's nervous", and as an Aarakocra, that's almost all the time that he's in enclosed spaces (caves, dungeons, sewers, etc). I'm not so much trying to be a nuisance to my party, but a small added challenge to our stealthiness, and I think it gives a good balance to the whole flying 50 ft whenever thing. This character was "hired" by my current party after my previous character died (RIP Lerb. Man, woman, changeling. You will be missed.), so, we'll see if they want to continue with his employment XD. Willing to discuss any bard builds that sound like they would work. Aside from my characters personal flaws, I would like him to be a good use in battle. Probably more support than damage. Something that gives me plenty of opportunity to "sing". [/QUOTE]
