A job without a description.

A tavern minstrel, fair of voice and nimble of finger, is only half the picture of the true Bard. Bards trace their lineage back to the first bowmen who sang to strengthen the will of their companions while in the thralls of battle. The Bard is known for his ability to fortify all his companions with unique effects based simply on the songs he sings. These songs can provide effects ranging from simply raising the alertness and response speed of his companions to striking against his enemies with a sonic barrage. The Bard is a true virtuoso of utility and charm.
