(Yes, the Sage even mentions the druid's languages.)Sure they can use their thief abilities! Back to Sage Advice in Dragon #56, now on p.9:<code class="bbCodeInline">One of the significant benefits of becoming a bard is the ability to use armor and weapons not normally usable by a thief, and still be able to perform the various thieving abilities. All that’s necessary to properly play a bard with respect to this is to interpret the Players Handbook literally: A bard is able to use any of the armor and weapon types listed as permitted to the class, and a bard is able to function as a thief of the level which the character attained while pursuing that profession. Nothing in the description given in the Players Handbook puts any limitations or restrictions on either of these characteristics. </code></blockquote>
