He is an entertainer, magician, trickster, keeper of ancient knowledge and wanderer. Bards are very rare, as few people are ready to take the path of the bard, and found only among humans and half-elves.  \nClass Basics  \nAttribute Requirements  \nPrime Requisite  \nRaces  \nHit Die  \nAlignment  \nWeapons  \nArmour  \nAttack Progression  \nSaving Throws  \nWeapons Proficiencies  \nNon-Proficiency Penalty  \nSTR 15, INT 12, WIS 15, DEX 15, CON 10, CHA 15  \nNone  \nHuman, Half-Elf d6 (max 10)  \nAny Neutral  \nClub, dagger, dart, javelin, sling, scimitar, spear, staff, sword (bastard, broad, long, short)  \nLeather, magical chainmail  \nNone (see below) As Druid (see below) 5+1 every 4 levels-2  \nWeapon Specialisation N/A  \nThe Path of the Bard  \nUnlike most other classes, a bard player character does not start his career as a bard. A character that meets the prerequisites and wishes to become a bard first gains levels as a fighter. Once he has reached at least 5th level but no more than 7th level he can become a thief as if becoming a dual-classed character (this is an exception to the human-only limitation and the need for a 17 in Dexterity) . After becoming a thief he may advance to at least 5th level and no more than 8th level. After this he undergoes druidic training and finally becomes a bard.  \nAttribute Requirements  \nThe number of humans and half-elves ready for the path of the bard are vanishingly small. A bard requires an attribute score of at least 15 in Strength, Wisdom, Dexterity and Charisma as well as an Intelligence score of no less than 12 and a Constitution score of at least 10.  \nPrime Requisite  \nA bard does not have a prime requisite and does not gain an experience bonus from any ability score while he gains levels as a bard. He does revive the respective bonus for high prime requisites while he gains experience as a fighter, thief or druid, though.  \nRaces  \nOnly humans and half-elves can become bards. Other races are not suited to take the path of the bard.  \nHit Die  \nThe bard uses the d6 to determine his hit points. He can gain a maximum of ten hit dice as a bard and receives an additional hit point per bard level thereafter. The bard keeps all hit dice he gain while being a fighter and also those of his thief career (provided he gained more thief levels than fighter levels) . When he starts to gain bard levels, no hit dice are lost.  \nAlignment  \nBard have to be Neutral. They can be Lawful, Chaotic, Good or Evil, though.  \nWeapons and Armour  \nBard use no armour but leather armour and magical chainmail. They can use the club, dagger, dart, javelin, sling, scimitar, spear, staff, bastard sword, broadsword short sword and long sword as well as burning oil. Only Neutral Evil bards may use poison.  \nTable 1: Bard Experience Progression  \nLevel  \n1  \n2  \n3  \n4  \n5  \n6  \n7  \n8  \n9  \n10  \n11  \n12  \n13  \n14  \n15  \n16  \n17  \n18  \n19  \n20  \n21  \n22  \nXP  \n2,000 4,000 8,000  \n16,000 32,000 48,000 64,000 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 600,000  \n800,000 1,000,000 1,250,000 1,500,000 1,750,000 2,000,000 2,250,000 2,500,000 2,750,000 3,000,000  \nCollege  \nProbationer  \nMongán  \nMongán  \nMongán Cairbre  \nCairbre  \nCairbre  \nAmairgin  \nAmairgin  \nAmairgin Deireóil  \nDeireóil  \nDeireóil  \nFardd  \nFardd  \nFardd  \nTaliesin  \nTaliesin  \nTaliesin  \nLamfada  \nLamfada  \nLamfada  \nTitle  \nSinger Storyteller Rhymester Lyricist Metricist  \nPoet  \nGalater  \nTroubadour  \nLiedermacher  \nLoremaster  \nBard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \nMaster Bard  \n23 3,500,000 Myrddin Master Bard  \nAttack Progression  \nA bard's combat abilities do not increase and he attacks using the attack table of a fighter and his highest fighter level.  \nSaving Throws  \nBards have the same saving throw progression as d","cbCaideD3uh3y7ny","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaideD3uh3y7ny","pdf",341209,"English","# What is a Bard?\n## Class Basics\n### Attribute Requirements\n### Prime Requisite\n### Races\n### Hit Die\n### Alignment\n### Weapons and Armour\n### Attack Progression\n### Saving Throws\n### Weapons Proficiencies\n### Non-Proficiency Penalty\n## The Path of the Bard\n## Bard Experience Progression\n## Bard College\n## Special Abilities\n### Bonus Languages\n### Bardic Charm\n### Bardic Lore","[{\"question\":\"What makes a character eligible to become a Bard in this rule set?\",\"answer\":\"A bard requires attribute scores of at least 15 in Strength, Wisdom, Dexterity, and Charisma, plus Intelligence at least 12 and Constitution at least 10.
