The were not too much jack of all trades, but a jack of some trades, suited to his kit. Actually this is what I expect the 5e bard to be.Kits included:the skald (with lower magic)the sage (with higher magic)riddlemasters, mimes, harlekins, blades...If the 5e bard, with a combination of his base abilities + background can capture the feel, i am sold.I would hope for:3 types of bard schools (a litle bit akin to the cleric deities)- rather low with more martial skill- balanced with martial skill- higher magic with less martial skillbackground and speciality can cover for the special flavour...4e bard and skald in combination would be a great start. Please don´t limit the bard to the 3.x kind... it really really sucked...</blockquote>
