do you ever have something click in your mind
#gonna talk about hope and multiclass stuff down here so. uh. yeah. no real specific spoilers but it is a hell of a ramble#also thanks nines for the subclass suggestion youve given me something to truly be insane about. anyway#Because. Bards. Especially lore bards to me are something I love because!! it's the magical secrets at level six!! not even for mechanical#reasons. it's just the storytelling. the want to preserve that knowledge and grow new stories from it (it's a cycle. stories are.)#it becomes even more intrinsic to the class. preserving histories and connection. thinking about how hope's songs are folk tales and#lullabies she learned as a kid. and. Bards! high charisma! you have performance! but you're a support caster you're not in the spotlight.#filling in the gaps. helping everyone be better! helping everyone along their story! the rng of binspo. you're trusting the dice to tell it#a bit of luck sure but it's all up to fate and chance and sometimes chance is all you have! but! you! make! the! best! of! it! and then.#clerics. ough. clerics obviously have their connection with the divine but to me it's more about what the cleric themself believes.#you ally yourself with the beliefs of a god. It's your beliefs your hopes your dreams!! that's all you! you chose to believe in that#and your belief is made real! into its purest form as magic but that magic is *you* it's your love. it's her love. and the peace domain too#you're not built for fighting. the social cleric class. Talking to people is literally Your Thing. you gain a people skill 1st level.#because communication is your thing! it's your magic! combine that with a high level bard and ough. emboldening bond too.#you believe in these people so much. you love so much that the connections between you all become that magic. Trust so strong it's tangible#But it's still only fate! Bond isnt a set amount it's a d4 it's still up to the dice It's about being a bard and believing in your craft#and telling the story while you're still in it. it's a story you will never be able to completely control but you love these people#and you're willing to try to get them a happy end regardless. and you know they're trying too.#hope#is this 1am gibberish? yes.#has dnd brainrot got to me? yes

bards.....
#when i play a bard in a game that’s not fhmm or a dungeon. they you’ll all see#i love them SO much is the thing they’re so versatile and subclasses are so cool and different and make SENSE#i simply spent SO much time bard spiraling yesterday#because the thing is. eloquence bards. but then i started thinking abt how they’re also different from other subclasses#bc all of them are so unique and good :pleadcat:#thinking about. more getting magical secrets at level 6 as a manifesting of how they’re about knowledge preserving history and connection#glamour stuff that’s like. draw attention and then don’t let people hit you#dirge bards.........:#and just!! got!! it’s so COOL to be so high cha so based in performance and grabbing attention as a class but then. you’re support!#filling the gaps as needed. making everyone around you better. it’s SO!#and we’ve all heard how i don’t love clerics relying on rng but i LOVE it for bards#the meta of bardics being your Thing and how that’s trust in the dice to tell the right story#the story that should be told will be told! but you can help it along!#connecting to people in all these different ways. how all the subclasses do it a little differently#i just think it’s Sexy how different they all are! lore is nothing like eloquence is nothing like creation and so on#dnd hours#it’s about connection and presentation and that’s SO!
