[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 7050551, member: 92511"] Also in agreement. The Bard was the logical choice -to round out a triad of "sword swinger/spell slingers" combos: Paladin: cleric magic half caster, Ranger: druid magic half caster, and [regardless of my own opinions of what kind of magic they SHOULD have] Bards could have been/should have been/would make more sense as the arcane/wizard magic half caster. Plus the auras, chants, innate magical ability charms that they have traditionally had access to/been capable of. I don't know if I'd go the full on "warlock" spell progression way. But definitely should have been a half-caster progression of spells known/prepared. And, actually, maybe for the bard's special mechanical "hoo-ha" a class feature that allowed them to access magic as/by a limited number of "Spells Known" AND access to "Spells prepared." That just literally hit me just now and came out my fingertips. So I'm not sure how it would work. But it's an intriguing concept for a class ability: being, at once, a "known" and "prepared" [half] caster that can access either as needed/wanted. [/QUOTE]
