Class Fantasy
History belongs to whoever gives it rhythm.
Bards decide what is remembered. Heroes rise or fall by the stories told of them, and a bard's influence outlives armies. Their presence scales with their audience, and credibility is the core of their craft.
They turn a party into more than its parts: confidence, tempo, disruption, and the perfect phrase at the worst moment for the enemy.
Presence builds the audience; Credibility decides whether the song becomes truth.
