[QUOTE="William drake, post: 3361531, member: 49143"] bards are bookworms with a little more flavor, their means of gathering knowledge, which is made up of lore, myth, and legend *and each are differnt from the other* come to them in countless ways. I would assume the others would be: Off hand knowledge you picked up from people while moving across the world seeking your own knowledg. Finding out the other side of stories towhich you already know. Seeking out the various versions of a tale which has spread across differnt coutries. Reading...lots and lots and lots and lots of read. Note taking...lots and lots and lost and lost of note taking. I would also say that sometimes bards might deal in more facts then Wizards and Clerics. Clerics would more than likely put a religious spin on their side Wizards a more arcane, or abstract form...if they told you all seeing as they might feel that you wouldn't "get it" Bards on the other hand, I think, would be more inclined to take in the most WIDE view of the subect, and even use fatual history...they would be more likely to search out the truth of their myths, maybe never to tell of them, but just to know the effects that stories, and the how the "gossip mill" has on the shape of the reality, or concept of TRUTH around him. Yes, I love bards, and wish they were done better in D&D [/QUOTE]
