I don’t get bards. I mean, wizards study magic. Sorcerers are born with innate magical abilities. Clerics channel divine power. But what the heck is the bard actually doing? Is he rocking out (over the course of six seconds) to such an extent that listeners take psychic damage? Is that something music just does in D&D? Like if you’re a level 1 commoner, can you literally die if the kids practicing on their guitars in the neighbor’s garage are too good (or too bad) at it?
(Edit: Yeah, yeah, “housecats kill more level 1 commoners than bards do”. Bards are a menace! Don’t try to obfuscate with statistics.)
