I was expecting champagne supernova to know about the rep system, but instead I found champagne supernova did not know about the rep system.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
When I was in high school, I wanted anything but a Toyota Corolla. Now I drive a Toyota Corolla.
That reminds me, when I was a kid I wanted to be a motorcycle racer, just like my third cousin (he boarded with us). Not sure what happened with that as I don't even have a learner's licence... for anything.![]()

Psshhh. My bard is great! Right now I run a fishery company supplying dried fish goods to a large portion of the area in our little campaign. I've employed shadowkind to work for me, so no else can see them, see where they fish, or try to steal my work force. Plus if anyone smurfs with me, weird little halflings that people forget immediately after meeting them "take care of the trouble makers."
They also mine for me, and are pretty handy at supplying rare ores and gems.
Even the other people in my party don't know what to make of the situation. It's great!
As for things that didn't turn out great, and I've had to settle or just give up entirely. Jobs and romance.

HAPPY NEW CAR DAY
I've got a bard in a really old game who became a dictator. The DM intended to have us support either a military leader or a cleric of St. Cuthbert, but I nominated myself and ended up winning. That game's been on hold for a while, but hopefully we'll start playing it again once our monk gets back from Germany.
Starting at level 7, though, with no prior events like that to add to your character's story or in-game reputation makes it a lot less interesting to be a bard. I'd rather be a no-name sorcerer or cleric at this level than a bard with no reputation. Oh well, the DM will probably give me some sort of background for a bit of fame since they tend to do crazy stuff that people hear about. Especially if I take Leadership again...
Yeah, that's a fair point. We started at level 6 for a second campaign and I made a Loxo barbarian. It's just easier to pick up in the middle with a more basic character like that.
Bard's really are better when you've created their back story through adventuring. Nothing I've done has been what the DM planned, but he loves how I pull together elements he never though about. It helps him use stuff he put effort into he though would just not get used much.
Good luck though! Songs and Silence is your friend!
I had to settle for being Mexican.![]()
Just 'cause of the thread title.
Lowered Expectations
In case nostalgia had you thinking Mad TV was ever funny. That should take care of that.
