Where does this bizarre idea of bards all being inherently

High charisma, people skills, no religious holdups like with the paladin.

>>53856110
That Guy behavior, mostly.

For the same reason that, when allowed to play a Paladin, they become "You have to smite ALL the evil" edgelords, That Guys who play bards will take every possible opportunity to spam seduce or persuade rolls to try and get laid.

>>53856110
It comes from bards being inherently huge sluts.

>popular musicians beloved by their fans, who will totally sleep with them given the chance
No idea, OP.

>>53856110
>Implying pic related isn't the kind of bard that gets drilled like an oilfield every other night

Combination of Romance Novel idea of the Troubadour and the Rock Musicians.

musicians and performers tend to be sluts

Bitches love musicians.

>>53856110
Children and memes.

>>53856110
Charming musicians tend to be sluts.

>>53856110
They dont have much else going for them

>>53856562

No, bitches love cannons.

>>53856110
the fact that a good bit of their theme is illusion/mind fuckery magic.

>>53856110
From the actual "job". For centuries actor, whores, bards and anyone who was basically travelling, but not trading was considered by default a slut, because that's how they were making for a living in the first place: singing, whoring and performing.

>>53856110
1. They have high charisma
2. They're often described as dashing and charming even in source material
3. The bard is effectively the medieval rock star. Rock stars are widely known for using their fame and wealth to fuck sluts by the daily. There's a reason why Mick Jagger, the man who fell down the ugly tree, faceplanted on the ugly floor and hit every ugly branch on his ugly way down, is considered a sex icon.
This isn't a difficult question, and five seconds of thought could answer it for you.

>>53856662
Bitches love music MADE WITH CANNONS

>>53856700

Only correct answer so far.

What the fuck people. They are musicians, bohemians, bon vivants , of course they are going to enjoying whoring, both selling and buying.

I guess the dnd-style-fantasy-bards we know, got heavily influenced by the figure of ancient Satyres and Fauns.

They fuck anything, that dares to move, play music on their flutes, are witty, funny and have a generally high charisma

So they're basically Bards

You must not know any moderately talented musicians

But it's not a meme for sorcerers, for some reason.

>>53856110

bard players

>>53860361
Sorcerers don't have as many skill points, so they can't invest in interpersonal skills like Bards can, especially when they have other things they'd like to invest in.
Sorcerers are just the Chads of the wizarding world.

>>53856110
Because players love to play them as huge sluts. Almost every class' archetypical behavior was molded from how players tended to play them.

>>53856110
>usually play Bard
>never play Bard as a huge slut

I guess that makes sense but I usually play them as party hard rock gods that care about the music or insufferable but loyal jackasses that make shitty puns and drive their enemies insane with jokes and insults. And the one time I played a Bard as a wise old hermit type dude who just wanted to study lore and history and used his charms to pry new information from people

>>53856167
>religious holdups
That is literally only the Catholic church and their -PRIESTS-.

You telling me that these guys don't get laid ALL THE TIME?

>>53856110
>Where does this bizarre idea of bards all being inherently huge sluts come from?
Probably real life, where women (especially young women) will throw their panties at anyone holding a guitar as if he were going to play it.

This isn't rocket science, if you'd ever left your basement you'd know these things.

>>53864292
That's not true. They diddle little boys all the time.

>>53856110
Idiots thinking Charisma is "the fuck stat"

>>53864656
Go fuck yourself. The rate of victimization is below any other group.

>>53856110
rockstars in general and Killmister particularly

>>53864324
I think he's wrong cause I'm a guy and that little guy with the fu man chu is doing things to me that I don't quite understand...

The fact troubadours, traveling actors etc have been seducing nobles in folklore for centuries?

Our campaign ended up depicting all Dwarves as rednecks because someone in the group was playing a Dwarven Bard who was basically Charlie Daniels.

Just that when it happens they have a massive organization willing to help cover it up.

The slutty scantily-clad sorceress is totally a cliche though

>>53868508
But he has no idea. The question is still in the air!

Haven't been playing D&D very long, but have came up with a lot of ideas over the years. One of them is a melancholic elven bard who goes on about his woes and angst over his long life through poetry.

I have no idea how I would play this without being an annoying cunt but I like the idea of a sad bard.

>>53856110
King David

>>53875487
That melancholy "artist" is an insufferable little shit in real life
Play it like you want to be hated

>>53856110
Apollo, maybe, like your picture suggests

>>53856110
They're usually hot.
They make music which is even hotter.
They never stay in one place long enough to experience consequences.
Do the math.

>>53875487
Embrace the annoyingness, just don't go way overboard with it. Honestly that sounds like a character you could have fun roleplaying with.

Actors and entertainers were always considered sexual degenerates, all the way back to greek times. TBF this was basically true as plenty of them were also prostitutes

>>53856110
Have you ever known a musician?

>>53864324

>>53856110
Real life examples. Musicians throughout time, Great orators and entertainers... many had an affinity for people, and for carnal pleasure. It's a majority thing.

>>53864292
>Buddhist monks
>Islamic anything
Religion and sexual holdups go pretty much hand-in-hand across the board, aside from the more primal, nature-worshipping ones, which tend to celebrate sex.

>>53880926
>>Buddhist monks
To be fair, this is in a much less strict capacity than in abrahamic religion as many eastern cultures historically viewed sex as much more than missionary position under the sheets eyes closed lights out for the sole purpose of procreation
Buddhism encourages asceticism for its monks, but in wider Hindu culture (historically) there were like five gods for different aspects of love
There were sex priests
The Kama Sutra is a religious text
Don't try to be like "Buddhist monks don't do the sexual" Buddhist monks spend a significant amount of time doing nothing

Annoying players magical realming.
