Bard¶

Bard class emblem The Bard is a rogue — but very different from the Thief. His strength is his pleasant and charming personality. With that and his wits he makes his way through the world. A talented musician and a walking storehouse of gossip, tall tales, and lore, the Bard learns a little about everything that crosses his path: a jack of all trades, master of none.
