This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Dark Albion doesn't have bards, but it has Cymri travelers, and there's one NPC called Sean the Cymri Bastard who my PCs have a similar relationship to as Daztur's group.

Quote from: KingofElfland;1066095I think the bard is a pretty stupid class as conceived be 5e. The idea that one enters battle with the magic of song or cutting repartee breaks any sort of immersion. The 2e bard that was a rogue who had various and sundry talents and the adaptability and wit to pick up new tricks, including spells, made much more sense.

Well, you could spin it so that the Bard's constant witty jibber-jabber, is able to distract his enemies, and impose some level of tactical disadvantage.  Of course, his enemies may also choose to redirect their focus upon him, which might get him killed.
