RE: Plotting Splinterlands Players by D&D Alignment

Nice!

Upon reading this, I dug into the D&D alignment guide for the first time since '97? '98? and, man, I gotta say, bards are pretty friggin badass.

Get this:

A bard’s life is spent wandering across the land gathering lore, telling stories, and living on the gratitude of audiences, much like any other entertainer. But a depth of knowledge, a level of musical skill, and a touch of magic set bards apart from their fellows.

Only rarely do bards settle in one place for long, and their natural desire to travel—to find new tales to tell, new skills to learn, and new discoveries beyond the horizon—makes an adventuring career a natural calling. Every adventure is an opportunity to learn, practice a variety of skills, enter long-forgotten tombs, discover lost works of magic, decipher old tomes, travel to strange places, or encounter exotic creatures. Bards love to accompany heroes to witness their deeds firsthand. A bard who can tell an awe-inspiring story from personal experience earns renown among other bards. Indeed, after telling so many stories about heroes accomplishing mighty deeds, many bards take these themes to heart and assume heroic roles themselves.

Bards have somewhat of an interesting reputation in D&D as both the face of the party and also as the mischievous seducer/seductress. Part of this is due to their naturally high charisma scores, but this is something they share with paladins, sorcerers, warlocks, and even rogues to some extent

Sick!

Thanks for tossin this together, BT!
