two words "tactical flexibility"

Ok, maybe not really. I've always played bards, Dragonrealms as well, AD&D,
etc. I've always liked bards because they are generally the "Renaissance
Class" they can do a little bit of everything. I get bored doing the same
thing over and over again.

As the months have gone by I've seen bards slowly get whittled down from
being a very flexible class into being a class very rigidly defined by "The
Vision", not so much for balance reasons as because of some misplaced sense
of outrage that bards were not being played as they intended them to be.

I started a Bard because I was a Bard in DragonRealms, and a Bard in
Amtgard, and a Bard in real life. So, no reason, really ;)
