A Bard is a regular 'jack of all trades' type of character. Good at fighting, stealing, singing, and telling a tall tale, the bard is always the life of the party. While you'll likely be robbed blind in the meantime, it's often a small price to pay for the entertainment he will provide you! Bards may not equip shields and helms, and their robbing abilities are very elementary, but they are balanced with useful skills like the Ballad of Belzur that provides a temporary light source. Bards require a wet throat (don't forget your waterskin!) and a musical instrument to play a song. Songs also require mana points, so aiming for high Wisdom when rolling is advised. More ballads and songs are currently in development. Recommended as great role playing characters and those who would like to supplement a party with a useful addition. Bards have access to stoneskin to protect themselves and a light healing spell to heal their wounds.
