[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 60470, member: 1008"] [b]Re: Now this is something...[/b] 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. [/QUOTE]
