Started as a Noble and raised him with the wealth and ... persuasion (?) talent trees. If he had a chance to talk to you he had a good chance to sway your mind on a topic and if he barked at you in battle you might hesitate for a round, allowing my Mandorallan wanna-be buddy a chance to run up and slap you around.Nobles ROCK in Star Wars, and we've been told that SWSE and Bo9S are the two biggest previews of 4e in the last podcast. Chris Perkins even mentioned, I think, that it would be fairly straight forward to run Jedi and other characters in a 4e adventure. (Which would make for an interesting Dragonstar or Barrier Peaks conversion.) A beer at the mutual convention of choice says that this statement is false. If SWSE is any indication, the bard at the very least will have suitable social skills to boost allies or impede foes. If there is as much interconnectivity between SWSE and 4e as Mr. Perkins implied (and I heard correctly) then they will be competent in their chosen field and more than token assistance in combat situations.Of course, I know only as much as has been released, which is next to nothing. But based on the last podcast I am optimistic about this concern.</blockquote>
