[QUOTE="Keldryn, post: 5796027, member: 11999"] I actually rolled pretty outstanding scores and could qualify to be a Bard. Assuming that we're starting at 1st level, do you think that the campaign will run long enough for it to even be an issue? What's your interpretation as to how half-elven bards work? :devil: Do they break the rules of only humans being allowed to dual-class, or do they break the rules that a bard begins play exclusively as a fighter and then changing to a thief before changing to a bard (so a half-elf bard would start as a fighter/thief multiclass and then switch to advancing as a bard once both class levels are in the proper range)? I would be inclined to go with the second option (start as fighter/thief and then stop advancement in both classes to become a bard), as it is a single special case (allowing a half-elf fighter/thief to stop advancement and become a bard) rather than breaking the usual dual-classing paradigm if and only if the half-elf intends to become a bard. Or these questions might just make you say "oh, right, [I]that's[/I] why I originally banned bards from my AD&D game." [/QUOTE]
