Line 53: Line 57:
 Bards are specialists who can sing, recite poetry, or play a group of instruments in a skilled manner. The greatest adventurers are known throughout history because of the epic poems and songs of their achievements. The most successful bards are those that recount these stories, and provide a witness to record the great doings of new generations of heroes. Many bards are adventuring champions in their own right, carrying a sword as well as a song. The legendary bards of the Celtic lands are said to have magical power in their songs to  heal the wounded while the Skalds of the North are able to inspire courage in their comrades.  Bards are specialists who can sing, recite poetry, or play a group of instruments in a skilled manner.
