Bards should also be able to attune instruments

Unread post by Xorena »

There are a few instruments with spells. Bards ought to be able to attune to them. If there's a concern about people taking a splash of bard, make the feat available only after a certain point.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Not enough dramatic pauses for a proper TED talk. I do like the idea though.

We discussed this briefly but the general consensus was that since Bards can already attune staves and there's no mechanics for attuning instruments in PNP there's no basis to specifically give Bards this extra "gimme" when they already have a bunch of Bard-centric special features available. I could see a case being made for all casters being able to attune such instruments. At this time there's no plan to do so, but it's something we could review again further down the line.

What if, we bards forsake stupid old staff attunement altogether.
Bards can not attune to staves - its out, its done! BAM-Gone!
No staves!
Instead we get instrument attunement in it's place. Most of us bards are walking around carrying instruments, we are never picking up a friggin staff.
Makes sense right?!
I can see you are interested, your not fooling me.
We are not getting anything extra. So you cant really go wrong with this deal. We all walk away richer and best of all- nobody loses out.
Take the deal! You know you want this deal - its cash money- today, not tomorrow, today!

CASH MOOOOONAAAY!!

I gotta say I completely agree with this. Never seen a bard use one but then not everyone declares what class they are.

BG doesn't always do things to PNP, although I appreciate the recent turn toward that.

Also Steve, I didn't see your post. Glad more than just me are thinking about this.

Ha!

It’s probably more like: “Tekill and Steve on the same side?!? Kill it before it spreads!!”
