[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7930889, member: 6750235"] People do make that assumption even though there are a lot of sources for music instrument proficiency in 5e. Funny thing is that it's easy access to a wealthy lifestyle and makes for a good cover as a wandering minstrel while trying to be incognito. [B]TANGENT:[/B] Since field musician is a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musician_%28rank%29']military rank[/URL] and the uses for [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_music']martial music[/URL] include... ...this could just as easily be a manifestion of the warlord. Some of what warlords were attributed falls in line with how military music was used. It's the same aspect expected of bards in earlier history. This falls in line with the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_cry']battle cry[/URL] as well. For the some of the criticism classes that use inspiration (which originally meant "possessed in spirit" and goes back to the supernatural / magical bards) received in the past it's amazing that this is what fighting has included for many centuries and people miss the connection. [B]END TANGENT[/B] People jump to conclusions and miss things; however, there kind of needs to be something to demonstrate a character is meant to be a bard and the lute is symbolic enough. [/QUOTE]
