From the 7.0 Rules

Circa 6.0

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, Taliesin

Garb:

Light blue sash

Armor:

None

Shield:

Medium (will subtract from magic points)

Weapons:

See the Magic section for a listing of weapons used. Weapons subtract from the Bard’s Magic Points

Immunities:

None

Lives:

4

Abilities & Traits:

Bardic Charm:

Some monsters may be immune to the control school, but not bardic charm. Bardic charm is any control magic that is cast by a bard (even those bought with Voice).

Magic-user:

Bards are magic-users and gain magic at each level. See the Rules of Magic section for more details.
