[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 5843727, member: 32536"] I want the Bard to be a pure musician in nature. The core aspect of their class should be musical, whether that is singing, playing an instrument, or dancing. If you ask me, the 4E Skald Bard presented in Heroes of the Feywild is the ideal. Its core class feature is the [i]Skald's Aura[/i], and pretty much every Daily power it has starts with the text "Until the end of the encounter, the following effect is added to your [i]Skald's Aura[/i]." That idea, of a class that constantly generates a powerful and versatile buffing and debuffing aura, is the perfect Bard for me. The mechanics can change a bit to match how 5E will differ from 4E, but that concept needs to stay the same. I'm not really a fan of the jack-of-all trades Bard who is some strange hybrid of rogues and spellcasters. I just don't see how such a class is supposed to be a "bard". The idea of an incredibly skilled or magical musician is strong enough of a concept on its own to build a class around. [/QUOTE]
