The following announcement is paid for by the Bardish Advancement League
of Greater Norrath.

A couple days ago, one of the guys in my guild was getting frustrated w/
his (20ish) halfling thief, and asked for recommendations on a good
class to try. As I haven't tried many other classes, I didn't recommend
anything, but the rest of my guild was VERY pro bard. As one of only 2
bards in the guild, I tried to answer the specific questions as honestly
as possible, the good & the nerf'ed, but didn't try to swing him one way
or other. I just sat back, glowing with bardish pride, as the rest of
the guild discussed (for about 4 hrs running) the merits of our fine
class. Yesterday, a young Helf bard walked up to me, and introduced
himself. I was quite happy to invite his new character into our guild.

We may be a small class in numbers, but I am pleased to say we are NOT
under appreciated.
