i think D and D's bard can be a really
0:02
fantastic choice for your first D and D
0:05
character The class itself has a ton of
0:07
things going for it It's a great
0:09
all-arounder It can fill a variety of
0:10
roles in the party It's got a lot of
0:13
skills full spell casting and your
0:16
choice of subclass can even get you into
0:17
melee and make you a a passible marshall
0:20
character so you can learn how to use
0:22
weapons effectively Now the class itself
0:24
can be a little bit complicated because
0:27
there is so much that the class can do
0:30
but your specific choice of options can
0:34
simplify that a great deal If you stick
0:37
to simpler spells support spells healing
0:40
things like that You can keep the
0:42
character simple to play but in any
0:44
given situation that you'll find your
0:46
character in you will always be useful
0:49
In combat you'll always have those core
0:52
bard options that will make you
0:53
effective You've got your cantrips
0:55
you've got spell casting you've got
0:56
bardic inspiration Outside of combat you
0:59
have enough skills that you'll be useful
1:01
in basically every situation And with
1:03
high charisma you're going to be
1:05
effective in social situations where
1:08
you'll get to roleplay a lot and build
1:10
those skills and get comfortable as a
1:13
role player So in general just the bard
1:16
is a great way to expose yourself to
1:18
huge parts of the game very very quickly
1:21
But because it's a charisma based class
1:24
because you'll be expected to do a lot
1:26
of that socialization you may have to
1:28
push yourself to get comfortable role
1:30
playinging at least you know those first
1:32
few sessions while you get acclimated to
1:34
the game And if you find yourself
1:37
struggling with first-person role
1:38
playing remember third person role
1:40
playing is always an option Your
1:42
character has stats for a reason
