Does a lot I expect from a bard. The skald is also quite nice, but he has minor (action) problems.But yes, you have a point. In 5e, a bard, although there will be +1 to hit bonuses for other classes, would be able to make a band of commoners fight like warriors. A +1 to hit and maybe some temp hp will make them respectable combtants. Seems good!And when you remember, that they will be going away from the arcane bard and to the skaldic one, yes, i have great hopes!</blockquote>
