D&D (2024) Last minute guesses about what WotC did with the Bard

[Henadic Theologian]

My guesses, and I'll be optimist here, is they swapped the Divine, Arcane, and Primal Spell Lists for Cleric, Sorcerer, and Druid, but still have the basic Bard list with the unique Bard spells and spells they think should be universal choices. Or maybe they have multiple Bard lists. Or there is a power source feature that grants extra spells from a particular list. Expectations for tomorrow.

some how2 make it even more caster-y or make it suck in some major way, I am more dreading the monk

 

[Sorcerers Apprentice]

They've finally listened to the players who want a spell-less bard.

 

[Zardnaar]

Pure martial that's better than the fighter.

 

[Not a Decepticon]

Each subclass let's you outshine a different martial at their area of expertise and you get explicit permission to bully players using that martial class that DM is not allowed to take away or do anything against. yes, I'm still bitter about Dance Bard.

 

[Stormonu]

Made it more selfish and less support-based, I'm sure. I expect attack + some bonus to an ally rather than having to sack their action to make someone else better mostly. And quite a bit more healing, coupled with their attacks.

They put all the Bards at the bottom of the Nyr Dyv.

Same, I cannot wait for them over correct and make Monk suck majorly

that would be a first, the monk be more than a c- is a 5e first making it worse seems just pointless at that point they might as well admit they hate monk and want to drop the damn class

they will propose a new "fix" that will be just copypaste of 3.5 Monk, a class that I hate to no end due to how bad it was.
