Can't gathering information be also implemented by police forces (which nearly scream lawful)? And isn't the performance of a piece of music verily dependant on rythm, patterns, and a steady, rhythmic, near-prediction of what comes next (which seems VERY lawful)?Lawful is consistancy, and is often conformity, but you don't need to appeal to all groups of people to be a Bard, nor do I think you need to be flexible. What if there was one song in the mutliverse that could move and stir the soul of anything that had ever lived, a transcendant song...woudln't the process of assembling notes, trying different patterns, and seeing which creates harmony be a lawful process of trial-and-error, as opposed to a Chaotic 'I think I'll insert a chord *here*'?I guess it just seems to me that most artistry is VERY lawful. Though it can often be chaotic, too, much of what is considered 'classic' relies on formulas and controls and patterns so that the human mind can predict it. A painting is a work of art because it depicts reality in lines and strokes. A song is a work of art because it stirs emotion in lines and spaces. A play is a work of art because it follows established principles of drama and pathos and catharsis.I'm not saying that it can't be chaotic, but I AM saying that it is very lawful, too...which would imply that Bards could be lawful...</blockquote>
