In essence this was a very long and complicated way to say “you can type ‘brb grabbing chimes’ in team chat to explain what you’re doing beyond bleeps and bloops.” Oh and speaking of languages you do get one which you can speak beyond Common: I’d opt for Celestial since… well, you are one? To use this ability, the creature must be able to see you and must be within this trait’s range, and you can only give this ability to only one creature at a time too. You don’t need to share a language but the creature must be able to understand at least one language. When you use this ability to speak to a creature beyond Bard noises you can use your action to give them the ability to speak back telepathically for 1 hour or until you end the effect as an action. What is more useful however is your Mind Link: You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see, provided they are within a number of feet equal to 10 times your level. Yeah I’ll tell you right now this ability affects like 3 abilities in the entirety of Dungeons & Dragons, but it’s still cool! The strange Dual Mind of a wandering caretaker gives you advantage on all Wisdom saves, and your Mental Discipline gives you resistance to Psychic damage too! Additionally you are Severed from Dreams, meaning that while you can be put to sleep you can’t be affected by spells like Dream which… require you to Dream. You get two points in Wisdom and while I’d like an extra point in Intelligence with Tasha’s rules more Charisma isn’t going to kill you. There aren’t many otherworldly races for our otherworldly caretaker assuming we don’t use the Astral Elf UA which doesn’t really fit anyways but not everyone can be a Variant Human or Custom Lineage, can they? The Kalashtar are a race I don’t use often and they fit Bard decently well. Tempered Fate - If either your enemies or your allies are being disruptive you can put them in time out while you collect your chimes. Magical Journey - Walking through walls and disappearing from lane will make you much more unique than the other supports. Traveler’s Call - We need to be able to leave gifts for our friends, and have friends traveling with us! Something something Studio Ghibli but I completely understand the desire to play a strange, wandering protector of the world. So do we praise Bard for his uniqueness or criticize him for being so unlike everything else? Well most people like him and so do I he has a very unique charm to him that I haven’t seen any other game recreate. Made for Riot Games.)įrom the studio that brought you “Warlock build with no Warlock levels” and “Rogue with no Rogue levels” comes “Bard build with no Bard levels!”īard’s a weird champ because he’s so iconic but he looks nothing like what’s standard in League.
