[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 4473538, member: 20805"] Over [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/231413-4th-edition-bard.html]here[/url], Saric posted a nicely fluffed version of the bard. I think the direction was solid, but the execution was over the top. The resulting bard is definately a bad-ass. I worked with one of my players as I convert my campaign over to 4th edition and have revised Saric's work... at least the first 9 levels. Most of the changes were pulling the powers back in line with the similar powers of equal level, while attempting to create a unique 'Bard' feel to the class. My guiding thoughts on what a 'Bard' should look like are: [LIST] [*]The bard is a second line combatant that inspired effectiveness and continued fighting from a group of allies. [*] He is capable of melee combat, although less effective at hitting than a dedicated frontline fighter and deals less damage than a dedicated striker. [*] His primary tool is his voice and/or instrument, channeling arcane power through the melody and variations to bring about extraordinary effects. [*] His inspiration comes mainly in the form of improved morale and improved team work. [*] His secondary tools is arcane based spells, similar to the Wizards repertoire. [*] He does not stand in the rear, as it is hard to be inspiring while kicking it back in the 'safe' zone. [/LIST] So, looking for input and help making sure I got the powers in-line.. and maybe some help with levels 10 through 30 :) .. attached is a pdf file with my adjustments. Thanks for your input!
