Description

Bard.png

Bards are naturally gifted in the harmonizing of song and swordplay in a deadly dance that is at once awesome and terrible to behold. Bards can use their unique combat forms to gain increasing power as a fight progresses. They also have the ability to compose songs using bits of lore and tunes heard throughout their journeys. As a bard advances, the songs he can create grow in complexity and power. Bards have the opportunity to seek out those rare stories and melodies that will add even more power to their compositions.
