The Bard Debate
Corylus and I were discussing D&D the other day, and apparently the RPG Town Hall's Gamers, Ethics & Religion board has a strong anti-Bard sentiment. I'm not sure why? Is it because as they're designed as a generalist and therefore not as optimized as the other classes? I have gotten the sense from other people in the hobby that Bards are weak or useless, and this doesn't gibe with my experience.
( game specific examples )
Maybe that's what it takes to make the Bard work as a class - setting plus carving out additional niches. I don't know. I'm interested to hear any other D&D players thoughts.
Mind you, we're still using the 3E rather than 3.5 rules round here, and we weren't all buying another round of the things.
