D&D Witch: Bards
“In the worlds of D&D, words and music are not just vibrations of air, but vocalizations with power all their own. The bard is a master of song, speech, and the magic they contain. Bards say that the multiverse was spoken into existence, that the words of the gods gave it shape, and that echoes of these primordial Words of Creation still resound throughout the cosmos. The music of bards is an attempt to snatch and harness those echoes, subtly woven into their spells and powers.”- D&D Beyond
Bards are some of the oldest professions in the world as they were the ones who passed stories and songs down in time. Stories are magic and music is as well. There is a common misconception of them in D&D as the seduce everything when in actuality it is a minor part. They are personally the most versatile.
Bards are usually extroverted in nature though some maybe ambiverts as well. They are usually full of energy and life and you never seem to have a bad time around them. They are really charismatic in personality and you are usually drawn into their conversations. They can usually play an instrument of some sort. Yes Singing counts as an instrument in my opinion. They usually wear bright or deep jewel tone colors like blues, purples, yellows and greens. They are also the friend people go to talk about their problems with.
