*8.6.2 Playtest* Updated as of November 3rd, 2024 *8.6.2 Playtest*

A gold harp and gold flute, crossed by a gold line, on a blue field: a common heraldry for Bards

Bard is a core class that casts magic to manipulate the enemy.

From the Rulebook

Class created by Tawnee Darkfalcon

Bardic history is mostly tied in with the early oral tradition of the druids and Norse skalds. Medieval Europe does give us a case of actual singing knights, many of them female, from the independent French province of Aquitaine before it was crushed by the Papacy.

Examples

Sarafin, William Shakespeare, Alan O’Dale, Homer, Scheherazade, Circe, Bragi, Snorri Sturluson

Equipment

Garb: Light blue sash and medieval/sword and sorcery looking garb
Look The Part: 1 extra point of magic at the Bard’s highest level.
Armor: None
Shields: None
Weapons: Dagger, Magic Staff

Magic-user

Bards may purchase five points of magic from each level. Unused points from higher levels can be rolled down to lower levels. A list of all magic purchased must be carried at all times.
