[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7845198, member: 1095"] I've literally never done any digging into the history of the term "bard" before today. But I think D&D does a good job giving space to create something that mirrors what the earliest bards were as lore keepers, genealogy keepers, eulogists, and satirists for their lords as well as the minstrel space. Especially 5e. You don't have to use an instrument at all to do anything Bardic in 5e. You can be a lore bard who recites histories or sings with no instruments. You can just do magic without any signing or recitation at all! With Magical Secrets you can grab spells off the Druid list to really align in that direction if you wanted. Plus... 5e bards can pretty much do this: So that's fun :) [/QUOTE]
