Bards were versatile adventurers who used music, wordcraft, and knowledge to cast arcane Spells and support their allies. Studying a variety of disciplines that borrowed from other spellcasters, bards learned a mix of skills, including martial combat, magic, and social abilities. Though they typically lacked specialization, their broad study made them flexible in many situations. They often played instruments or spoke with magical power to inspire allies and hinder enemies.
As adventurers, bards filled many roles depending on what the group needed. They could heal, boost their team’s abilities, or use spells to control the battlefield. In combat, they stayed alert and helped from a safe distance, but they could also fight when needed. Outside of battle, bards were good at gathering information, talking to people, and solving problems through clever thinking. Their wide range of talents made them a useful ally in almost any situation.
