Customer Reviews

A must for all role players

This book not only has great kits, it also has some very helpful charts in it concerning the off-combat role playing of the Bard. There is a table for legend lore rolls, money made playing in taverns, reputation and what kind of followers you can have. The kits are astounding and they really explore how far the rules let you go with the Bard. I am a musician in real life and playing the Bard with this book in hand makes D & D so much fun. I recommend this book to DM and player alike.

Bard's are the best character classes out there

Bards can be a lot of fun to play. The PHB doesn't give this class justice. With the kits you can be a show-off Blade or a confusing Riddler. Demi-humans can be Bards too. The PHB restricted the class to only Humans and Half-Elf, but a Halfling Whistler can be a lot of fun to play. If you have and Bard's in your campaign, or are thinking of becomming one yourself, get this book.

Probably the best Complete Class handbook out there!

This was a super class handbook. The kits (and modification of the original PHB bard class) make all the difference in this class. Using this book, the bard almost becomes a top-level class with a range of sub-classes (almost) that makes for some of the most interesting role-playing possibilities around. I'm almost sorry I didn't get this book earlier, before I created my most recent character, because some of the kits look to be so much fun. Definately a book to buy if you like to role-play and personalities are as important to you as (or more important to you than) hack 'n slash adventuring.

Must have!

This is a great book that really fleshes out the abilities of the many different kinds of bards you can play. As a player and a DM, I fully recommend it to anyone considering playing a bard.

The Best in the Series

I never really thought about playing a Bard until this book came along. The rules are interesting, but the kits stand head and shoulders above any from the other books in this series. The kits transform the Bard into one of the most appealing classes. Run, don't walk to get this one.
