Bards and Alignment

Alvirin · Post by **Alvirin** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 9:42 am

Most people who has been playing a long time to D&D wil know that in 2nd edition bards must have any alignment which have at least one neutral axis, meaning Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Neutral Good or Neutral Evil.

In Third Edition D&D, Bards can be of any non-lawful alignment, meaning Bards could no longer be Lawful Neutral, but now could be Chaotic Good and Chaotic Evil.This is explained as bards wanders freely and are guided by intuition and whim.

So, could be possible having chaotic good/chaotic evil bards?

I do not think we enforce any alignment restriction for bards: they can be any alignment they want on FK.

Then the helpfile of the bard class needs an update:

helpfile wrote:Bards

A bard is a minstrel or entertainer of some sort. Although he is Classified
as a Rogue, he is a jack-of-all-trades, able to cast Spells like a wizard, as
well as fight adaquately. Bards must have A high charisma and dexterity.
Bards must have some neutral in their alignment.
