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
Look The Part: 1 extra point of magic at the Bard’s highest level.
Armor: None
Shields: None
Weapons: Dagger
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.
