What is more, he himself was an actor, and pretty much always had some acting role in his own plays. His plays were themselves poetry, with almost every line delivered in Iambic Pentameter, and the majority of his plays feature songs and dances. In fact, it is also important to remember that we did not inherit Shakespeare's works through written manuscripts he left behind. All modern texts of Shakespeare's plays exist solely based on various text written down based on actors who memorized their lines and rote them down after the fact. Shakespeare's works were, in a sense, created purely for performance, and should always be thought of as the works of a performer on the stage.I see nothing wrong with a Bard who is a skilled writer, actor, poet, and singer all in one...On the rest of the points you make in your post, I completely disagree. A musician is worthy of a class in its own right. If you want something else (such as an insightful Master Inquisitive or a charismatic roguish fellow), then you should create a class for those particular roles. Trying to mash too many things together by claiming they are all the same leads to a confused identity for a class.</blockquote>
