Furthermore, * lore * bard suggests that the character knows a lot more than the player does. Both of us know it doesn't, but take it off your player's shoulders. Also, the idea that bards must play music to cast spells is pretty ingrained in popular culture, so your player might start with a flawed conception. If you must use bard or stay PHB only; go valor bard instead for reasons Benjamin Olson mentioned.All roles can be covered. The only thing lacking is a broader class feature differentiation/distinction, but that directly competes with getting the simplest setup. To differentiate the two fighters further, make them variant humans and select a feat for each of them.</blockquote>
