Jacks of all trades, but masters of none. Bards have a unique combination of abilities, making them extremely versatile.
Bards have a large number of different song lines, which lend them vastly different abilities. These include:
These are only a few characteristic songs of a bard, listing all useful bard songs would take quite some time. A full list of bard songs can be found here.
Bards can use instruments; some songs, such as Shauri's Sonorous Clouding require instruments, while others, such as Selo's Accelerando are only made more effective by one. Some songs, such as Lyssa's Cataloging Libretto are not at all effected by instruments. Also notably, bard haste songs do not give any greater haste with an instrument equipped.
