[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5955474, member: 1210"] First of all, [MENTION=51747]dmccoy1693[/MENTION], I have to quibble- the bard in 1e was a fighter/thief/[b]druid[/b]. :) But the druid part actually morphed into bard. There was no mage. (As an aside about bard rules weirdness, the 1e bard broke the rules, since you had to dual- (not multi-) class into it; and only humans could dual-class, but half-elves could be bards!) That's because, as others have pointed out, the bard is a lot like the 4e warlord in that when the party wins a fight because of the fighter, typically the fighter is the one that killed the monster, but when the party wins a fight because of the bard, typically [i]the fighter is still the one that killed the monster.[/i] It definitely isn't a playstyle that all players, all characters or all groups enjoy, but for those that do, the bard totally rules. :) [/QUOTE]
