Mar 22, 2004 5:14:36 Now, I am a real sticker for officalness, something my players hate. But I have found that the Divine Bard in Unearthed Arcana is...well...divine!

It solves alot of problems concerning bard casting before the age of mortals and during the Age of Despair. I have enough trouble convincing people bards are worthwhile, not mention convincing those same people to use bards without magic!

A couple of people on Dragonlance.com have tried to help solve the problem but Unearthed Arcana in my opinion has a more effective solution.

Mar 23, 2004 16:24:18 I suppose mysticism would allow bards more freedom to dance about in their chaotic nature. I was going to allow bards to be specialist priests of Gilean, Branchala and Hiddukel.

Perhaps I might use the Prestigious Bard. Because the fellas in the Palanthian Library hardly seem chaotic, especially Betrem.

1. That's what I thought first, but then I remembered the spontaneous=ambient/primal "rule."

2. I see those aesthetics as experts, not bards. Some might be bardic sages (with a nongood/nonevil restriction instead of a nonlawful/nonchaotic one).

Mar 23, 2004 21:12:38 Hey, if anybody wants to use a specialty priest of Branchala, Gilean, or Hiddukel, then direct your eyes over to the Nexus and check out my article, Enhancing your Dragonlance Game. I would like some of it playtested, as I never have gotten the chance to(although soon one of the PCs in my group will be taking the Bard of High Sorcery class). I want to see if they're balanced.
