    2:50 silly bard. The joke was that he had 36 kids because he was running an ORPHANAGE, taking care of kids who lost their parents in vicious monster attacks. And the reason he went on this adventure was to earn money for the ophanage, find the cause of these vicious monster attacks and maybe stop them so more children don't end up without parents....like him when he was their age. Music was the only thing that reminded him of his parents, who taught him to play the lyre in the first place, the only thing that brought him joy in life, and he had to rely on it to earn money while growing up on the streets, barely scraping by til his next meal. It's why his stats are low. It's why he is so weak, skinny, clumsy, unintelligent etc. Which is why he wanted to give others a better life
    but after the player had enough of your constant ranting and incessant nagging, he finally gave in and turned you into the very thing you were afraid of becoming

      One of the other members of the party was going to be a rouge who lost his parents at a young age and turned to stealing to survive. But one day, he tried to pickpocket the bard. The bard caught him, but instead of trying to punish him, he took him in and treated him like a son, giving him the love his parents never got to give him. He was moved by this gesture and stopped stealing, instead using his abilities to preform with the bard, doing tricks of sleight of hand to amazing crowds as the bard played accompanying music. Moved by what happened to him, he was ready to travel out with the bard on his noble quest.
      But now that the bard mouthed off, the rouge is just someone who helps the bard kidnap children, still bitter about never knowing his parents.

      Due to story reasons my level 3 wizard got access to the Black Tentacles spell. Of course all the horny bard heard was "tentacles" so he pestered me over and over again to cast it on him.
      It only got worse when his friend joined. He was playing a Source (it was a Witcher game) and his magical trigger? Sex. Of course.
      I just wanted to go on an adventure, not have to sit there and listen to two dudes erotically role-play. I don't ever want to play a game with a bard in it again. All that anyone ever does is make a horny bard.

    I have an idea for a bard who's actually super wholesome. He's really introverted, and hates being the center of attention, but he loves writing and playing music and he's really good at it, so he just gets in the zone and starts playing and forgets people are around. Of course, then he finishes playing and he's super uncomfortable with all the applause and he basically just hides from the crowd. Also, every single time he finishes writing a piece, he sends it over to his sister who training to be a wizard at a wizard academy, because she's the one who taught him to play his first instrument and he misses her.

Making him a foot tall and he only needed four hours of rest... but completely shut down, as in once I was out nothing about wake me up. He was played as a child type running around with the group and was used to help the party get away with stuff and get discounts "Pwease I would like to get a heawth potion to protect my fweinds". He was cute and I love him. My party even said if anything happened to Box they would kill everyone and destroy the universe. When one of his friends was sad about not getting a card collection he wanted Box sat and made him cards to make him happy. The guy thought he was going to get the Deck of Man Things but it was a trick so Box (not understanding what that was) made him cards that said stuff like "Box will get you the nicest rock around" or "Box will tell you one of his most popular stories".

    Bard is probably my favorite class in the game, for 5e. You can do so much with them aside from just seducing everything, even though the meme for bard is absolutely true and I am guilty of playing it a few times.
    But being a full caster with a really good selection of spells, being able to inspire the party and debuff enemies significantly on top of being decent at all the different skills to fill roles that no one knows might be needed... It's the ultimate support role. Through spellcasting and your mysteries of being able to take any spell in the game, bards even keep up at dealing decent damage.
    Even though the party usually forgets to use their buffs unless I remind them EVERY GODDAMN TURN! Either that, or they use it for their next attack roll immediately, and fail the next saving throw that is the reason you gave them it in the first place... C'MON! I GAVE THE PALADIN INSPIRATION FOR THEIR DEX SAVE! They just use it to hit one of their bajillion attacks instead... This is why bards get a bad rep in 5e, not because they're bad... But because people don't use their abilities right.

She lived at home with her "super old" mom (72, but human, so actually old), volunteered at her local library, carried her lute everywhere, and was trying to impress some local human young adults because she wanted to join their band. She was bright pink with frizzy hair and talked like the perkiest 14 year old you've ever met.

There is already someone he loves dearly, but can't be together with because of past events that split up the guild that both of them were in. She is also the one that gave him the lute he carries with him. He just loves to see the smiles on people's faces as he plays.
