Re: Now this is something...

…That I have been thinking about. Since 3E came out I have truly loved the version, however, the Bard just didn't feel right. So, to rectify the problems I was feeling, I left the Bard as a PrC instead of a standard class. Adding some small requirements.
Having never played AD&D 1E, started playing d20 on the heels of 2E, I am wondering if some one, old-school player, could post his/her view of what the 1E Bard would look like as a 3E PrC? Any chance of that happening?
I don't have any 1e material with me, and its been a long time since I even looked at a true bard, but some broad stats might be:
Requirements:
BAB: +8
10 ranks in each of decipher script and use magic device
6 ranks in each of disable device, diplomacy
Ability to disarm traps above DC20 as a class feature (to force thief class)
Weapon Mastery (to force fighter class)
Find Druid tutor
d6 hit die
6 skill points/level
Class skills: as core bard
Druid spell progression and list, up to 10th caster level. Caster level based on bard levels.
Bard levels stack with fighter levels for fighter bonus feats.
Bard levels stack with thief levels for sneak attack damage.
Cleric bab progression.
Bardic Music and Bardic Knowledge at 1st level.
A bard who develops a level in any class apart from bard can never again increase his bard level.
Probably some major problems in there, but it just came off the top of my head.
