[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7823702, member: 6802378"] Usually we imagine bards playing magic music, but in the most of musical comedies characters aren't always singing. A superhero or magical girl who always is singing in the battlefield may be annoying or even ridiculous. Bards as characters are popular in the fiction if he is a "Don Juan" ( = a womanizer libertine) but in the dungeons there aren't girls to be dated. Bards can be useful, but the gameplay isn't fun when in the clobberin' time the other players are kicking-asses and he only is playing a flute, a laud or a harp. My suggestion is adding some game mechanic to gather magic glamour when is playing music, and later these "points of glamour" are spent for effects as a potions or another single-use magic item (tattoos, runes or talismans).
