D&D 5E On the Necessity for More Bard Threads

[embee]

You probably don't want to get involved with John Denver and trees given his unhappy history.

The poster doth protest too much, methinks.

I love the bard, partly because it has been always been sort of an experiment since the beginning.

Aha!

Some experiments are doomed to fail ...

(Pictured- not the Bard experiment, but a Bard conducting an experiment ... I will leave it up to you to comprehended my part in this ....)

Telling stories?
Entertaining the masses?
Tons of knowledge?

Snarf, I've got some news for you. You'd better sit down...

 

[Ancalagon]

As I hinted at in my wizard thread, Bards don't make sense and are a waste of intellectual capacity. Why on earth are jack of all trades and dabblers full casters in 5e? Where does their magic come from? It doesn't fit.

You know .... back in the Old West, implying someone was a Bard was considered such a vile insult that you could legally be hanged.

As put forth by Judge Mills "I'll Allow It" Lane when he let 5 stone-cold killers free while sentencing the person who implied that they were Bards to death, "I've met people that needed killin', but never met a person whose blood wasn't angered to boilin' by bein' called a despicable Bard."

 

[Bolares]

The bard in critical role campaign 3 is pretty cool. Robbie steers far away from the typical bard tropes, and the character is being pretty well received.

Us your Expertise fo the Knowledge check, did you?

 

[DEFCON 1]

Rather than ending bard threads, I'd prefer Snarf just move on to a different schtick. The anti-bard "humor" has not gotten better with age.

So, you think it's a shtick, do you? You look at my anti-Bard rhetoric, and you think it's just some kind of obfuscation? That I am layered? That underneath this hatred of Bards lies something totally different than what's on the surface? That I am concealing a jovial tolerance of Bards underneath this harsh exterior?

Well, have you considered that there's a third, even deeper level, and that is the same as the one on the top? Like with pie.

My hatred contains multitudes. I am legion. Snarf ... think of me as the display case at your local diner. Full of pie. Legions of pie.
