Heck, I'm still learning about what a bard can do. You need a doctorate to
really understand the workings of a bard, "Selo's Dissertation on the
Influence Syncopative Concussive Accouterments Have on Celeritatious

Also I enjoy the fact that a bard is effective no matter what play style
you use (weaps, instruments, mixed).
