The PHB is pretty specific that bards do not gain any magical ability until after they've put in their time as a fighter and a thief.
Some time after version 1.0 of DC is out, I think it would be pretty cool to start working on a 3e or 4e version, but they are too different to pull of right now. |
I was not suggesting a 3e or 4e version(I don't like 3e bards much either). I was suggesting a solution to the problem that was already precedented in AD&D1e with other classes such as the Ninja, the Archer/Archer-Ranger(another alternate class created by AD&D designers for Dragon) and such. And my suggestion was not only more accurate in covering the various flavors of Bard that appear in fantasy sources but it is also rather simple to do(unlike the 'official' 1e bards).
Was just an idea.
