Bard

Description

Life would be so boring without a bard around. The only fun people would have would be watching ogres trip over their own feet. Bards do it all. They sing, dance, play musical instruments, fight and, on occasion, help relieve overburdened purses. Their artistic talents stir a party into action, or cause enemies to rethink attacking.

A bard may believe in various causes and they are the most eclectic lot with regards to deities, but one thing they all have in common is the love of their art and to forever be guided by their muse. Bards can be found among the half elf, human and wood elf populations.
