Once upon a time, in a galaxy far way...
there was a struggling yound sohei named Thalos, he came to this new and fascinating world attracted by the Jedi name and was amazed at the richness and beauty of the world.
What became of Thalos is tragic but not uncommon, doing some exploration on his own, he met his very first death trap in the aptly named city of Old Thalos venturing on the shaky second floor... he fell to hit death, never to rise again. Out of the ashes rose instead another young sohei named Vars, this one, in time, will rise to become one of the very first and original power rangers.
Now, during all these travels and exploration, he would encounter from time to time these 'things' that called themselves 'bards', he was intrigued by these beings, these seemingly all powerfull and unstoppable entities flying around the world, forcing demons and angels and other monsters of inimaginable power to do their biddings and all this throu the power of music! So he decided to find out for himself what it was all about.. thus was born my love for the class, a new bard was born and for a while, life was good, the rewards rich and plentiful if you worked hard, knew what to do, dared to try new things and was sprinkled with a little luck, almost nothing was out of reach...
For a while he enjoyed running around with Tiamat or Grand Master of Magic or Asmodeus! With them he could desecrate the statue of Onivel and try to get one of the mythical Phaser Mark IV(tm) and eventually got one!! Of course it took weeks, if not months, but it -could- be done.. Oh the pride he felt in actually getting one to load!!
These days, bards are but a pale imitation of what they used to be, not because of changes to the class itself, but because of changes to mobs in the world. Suggestion, the ancient bards most powerfull skill has had it's balls but off, what used to be the goal and pride of all bards is now just another tool, used most frequently to suggest mobs to... hold bags *snicker*. Personnaly I'd rather have suggestion taken off bard set of skills instead of sneaking it throu the backdoor and giving every mob worth suggesting the !SUGGEST flag, it achieves the same goal *shrug*.
The bard who remembers the good old days because they -were- good.
