a d&d campaign where everyone is a bard and you’re a punk rock band TRYING to go on tour but all these villages are just so fucked up
i am really digging the idea of, like, a bard bassist. a bard drummer.
a BARD BACKUP VOCALIST
running around trying to inspire adventurers via ONLY THE HARMONIES
ok next campaign: chaotic good alto
i am trying to figure out what your strategy would look like in a five-bard party
i mean presumably you’d mostly be trying to bluff your way through encounters, since dear god that is a squishy group
still, you’d probably have to fight sometimes
imagine one bard wielding a tiny dagger while four other bards simultaneously work some “inspire courage” by playing the loudest, wildest fantasy-punk riffs they’ve got
everyone rolls a twenty. the monster is defeated with essentially a coring knife. the power of rock n roll.
