God, the DS version of Edward was so much fucking better than his SNES version. You could choose the song he used, and his songs were fucking useful. Free in-battle healing was goddamn wonderful and saved me so much gil and MP. Being able to stick Bardsong on another party member after he fucked off was great, too.

God I love that fuckin movie. Find another movie where Buddy Holly fights KISS in the postapocalypse with a sword. Fucking incredible.
An occasion to post my goblin bard, graciously offered in a drawthread.
All who listen to his music despair! Or rather be vividly annoyed.

But that's just a gleeman, anon, we're talking bards here.
>>50098637
Yes.
I don't know what this is or where it's from, but someone posted it in a "this is how I bard" thread and it's burned into my brain.

I don't understand more cowbell and I didn't understand it in the previous decade either

It's a reference to several rock anthems from the 1970s and 1980s, which prominently feature the instrument. In the late 90s the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live did a show where Christopher Walken was doing an impression of an infamous rock producer (they used a different name but everyone knew who he was; he recently died btw).
Anyway he was doing bleu oyster cult's big hit don't fear the reaper and jokingly was obsessed with cowbell and it became a meme. That song was a huge hit at the time, then came back in the 90s due to being featured in the miniseries of The Stand and has been featured in movies/tv ever since. It's basically the archetypal anthem of stoner nihilism.
There, I urbandictionaried you.

Honestly this is pretty much how I bard (I hardly ever take spells with material components)
The flute is for downtime and song of rest
>>50099662
A more intense bard
>muh bellydancing fetish
Let's counter this with more bards
Pic related is a bard. Pic above is a prostitute.
Good old dirgesinger (I'm making a college of the dirge for a game of 5e where I'm removing wizards)

How do you fluff your bards? I always fluffed mine as something similar to Sorcerers. Whereas a sorcerer's magic is essentially just their bloodline manifesting, a bard is somebody who is wrenching magic out of themselves through sheer force of will or emotion, thus, many use arts or some form of personal expression to do so.
