Bards are artists first and foremost, and they practice magic just as they
practice song, drama, or poetry. They have a clear sense of how people
perceive reality, so they master charm magic and some illusions. Sagas of
great heroes are part of a bard's repertoire, and most bards follow the
example of many fables and become skilled in a variety of fields. A bard's
artistic ability, knowledge of lore, and arcane might are widely respected,
particularly among the world's rulers.
Art and magic share a sublime beauty, and, as a bard, you seek the place where
the two meet. You might be a naturally talented wanderer who casts impressive
spells almost instinctively, a student of a bardic college who learned ordered
systems of magic and epic poetry, a warrior skald who mixes skill at arms with
thundering music, a dashing performer known for putting on a good show even
for your enemies, or a perfectionist who seeks the consummate formula that
blends art and magic into a higher force.
A steady rhythm beats in the back of your mind as you brandish your sword.
Your eyes and ears pick up the motion of the villains that surround you, and
one glance tells you everything you need to know to defeat them. You whistle
three staccato notes, letting your allies know the symphony of battle is
about to begin.
BARD OVERVIEW
Characteristics: Your powers are a mix of ranged, melee, and close attacks,
giving you plenty of options whether you choose to lead from the front or the
rear. Your attacks can provide bonuses and extra movement to you and your
allies, or they can charm and deceive your enemies.
Religion: Many bards revere Corellon, patron of both artists and wielders of
arcane magic. Cunning bards also honor Avandra and Sehanine, who are credited
with inspiring trickery in the heroes of old. Valorous bards are more likely
to revere Bahamut, Kord, or Moradin. Evil bards often worship Lolth, Tiamat,
or Zehir.
Races: Half-elves are sometimes said to be the best bards, partly because
their ability score bonuses favor the valorous bard and partly because their
Dilettante racial trait complements the bard's Multiclass Versatility. Gnomes
and tieflings both make excellent cunning bards.
Bard Class Features
Bards have the following class features.
Bardic Training
You gain the Ritual Caster feat as a bonus feat, allowing you to use magical
rituals. You own a ritual book, and it contains two rituals of your choice
that you have mastered: one 1st-level ritual that has bard as a prerequisite
(see Chapter 4) and another 1st-level ritual.
In addition, you can perform one bard ritual per day of your level or lower
without expending components, although you must pay any other costs and use
any focus required by the ritual. At 11th level, you can perform two bard
rituals per day of your level or lower without expending components; at 21st
level, you can perform three.
Bardic Virtue
Bards praise many virtues in their stories, telling tales of people whose
particular qualities set them above common folk. The valor of dauntless heroes
and the cunning of great minds are among these virtues, and a bard can choose
to emphasize either quality.
Choose one of the following options. The choice you make gives you the benefit
described below and also provides bonuses to certain bard powers, as detailed
in those powers.
Virtue of Cunning: Once per round, when an enemy attack misses an ally within
a number of squares of you equal to 5 + your Intelligence modifier, you can
slide that ally 1 square as a free action.
Virtue of Valor: When any ally within 10 squares of you reduces an enemy to 0
hit points or bloodies an enemy, you can grant temporary hit points to that
ally as a free action. The number of temporary hit points equals 2 + your
Constitution modifier at 1st level, 5 + your Constitution modifier at 11th
level, and 8 + your Constitution modifier at 21st level.
Majestic Word
The arcane power of a bard's voice can heal allies. You gain the majestic
word power.
Multiclass Versatility
You can choose multiclass feats from several classes.
Skill Versatility
You gain a +1 bonus to untrained skill checks.
Song of Rest
When you play an instrument or sing during a short rest, you and each ally
who can hear you are affected by your Song of Rest. When an affected
character spends healing surges at the end of the rest, that character
regains additional hit points equal to your Charisma modifier with each
healing surge. A character can be affected by only one Song of Rest at a time.
Words of Friendship
Bards use magic to honey their words and turn the simplest argument into a
compelling oration. You gain the words of friendship power.
Implements
Bards use wands to direct and control their spells. When you wield a magic
wand, you can add its enhancement bonus to the attack rolls and the damage
rolls of bard powers and bard paragon path powers that have the implement
keyword. Without a wand, you can still use these powers.
Songblades and some magic musical instruments (see Chapter 3) can be used as
implements for bard powers and bard paragon path powers. Bards treasure these
magic musical instruments not only for the power they offer, but for the
wondrous melodies they produce in the hands of a skilled musician.
Creating a Bard
Your choice of ability scores, class features, and powers suggests one of two
builds based on the storied virtues of cunning and valor. All bards use
Charisma for their attacks. Intelligence increases the effect of tricky
attacks, and Constitution is best for powers that inspire allies.
Cunning Bard
The heroes of the past whom you hold as exemplars overcame adversity and
escaped danger using their wits, by tricking their foes and concocting
cunning stratagems. You seek to emulate those heroes, combining your winning
personality with a keen intellect. You use Charisma for your attack powers,
so make it your highest score, followed by Intelligence to improve the effects
of your tricky powers. Constitution is a good third score. Look for powers
that let you put your cunning to work. Most cunning
bards focus on ranged attack powers, using a wand from a safe distance to
orchestrate the flow of battle.
Suggested Class Feature: Virtue of Cunning
Suggested Feat: Advantage of Cunning
Suggested Skills: Arcana, Bluff, Intimidate, Perception, Streetwise
Suggested At-Will Powers:misdirected mark, vicious mockery
Suggested Encounter Power:blunder
