Nearly always an out of character description to encompass a wide variety of people, bards have two things in common: Their innate connection to the Al'Noth and a strong reliance on their instincts to guide them. Beyond mere street musicians, bards tap into magic to bolster their performances, be it dance, song, or poetry. They frequently dabble in many arts both spoken and otherwise. This class of individuals may have strong people skills that lend to many subtle rolls such as spies, scouts or messengers, but can also paint them into important and up front positions such as negotiators, diplomats and mediators. Most bards tend toward charms and illusions to aid whatever goals they may have, but this is not the sole extent of their magical inclinations. Their ability to weave the Al'Noth into music, along with their ability to heal sets them apart from other arcane casters.
