Bard

I was a Gnome.

Gnome what? Bard.

Bard.

Which I've never played a Bard, so...

Oh, you were a Bard? Wow.

Interesting.

And then I don't even know what Aldo was.

up,

and I'll give her Bardic Inspiration.

You see all this through the fugue haze and the static.

You hear his voice.

Imagine you've established lines and veils during your Session Zero, and one of them is no sexual activity between player characters.

During downtime, the Bard makes repeated attempts to seduce the Cleric, and expresses his character's desire to make sexual advances towards the other character.

That is beyond a line and veil that you have already established, and you should absolutely shut that shit down.

Tell the Bard's PC that sexual activity and advances are not allowed at the table, and to immediately stop.

Yes, this might cause hurt feelings in the Bard's player, but you are preserving the integrity of the game that everyone agreed to when we established lines as veils.

It does not matter the gender or orientation or any other characteristics of either player or character involved.

Unwanted sexual advances are always an opportunity for the GM to say no.

So...

I, I just, I was wanting to play Bard, right? And I had an idea for a Bard.

If you guys have ever heard, and Paige, if you're still editing this, you're going to have to block out the next little bit, cut out the next little bit, because I'm going to be playing a song that cannot be in the podcast.

Just by the way.

Um, so as all of this is happening, I take veracity-

Bardic inspiration

... and I will cut my hand with it.

Sure.

Ullendor the Undying, or Ollie, the hulking elf druid and the defender of nature, played by Seth.

an Ometrian grassling, better known as Om, the traveling philosopher Bard, the lizard folk, played by Taylor.

And last but not least, the creator of our beautiful world, the man of many voices, and our dungeon master, Sam.

I feel like a tube of toothpaste that's been put into a vice and squeezed to complete emptiness.

Uh, when you do so, roll a die.

Until you finish your next long rest, you gain access to a special reaction based on whether you rolled an even or an odd number on the die.

If it's even, it's Wheel, which means whenever a creature I can see within 30 feet of me is about to take an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check, you can use your reaction to roll a D6 and add in the number rolled to the total, which is basically, like, better Bardic Inspiration.

[laughs]

[laughs] Yeah.

[laughs]

Uh, or Woe, which is gonna make Rain's shadow even more scary.

Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is about to make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you roll a D6 and subtract the number rolled from the total.

amazing.

I sold my Bardic, right? Or no, that goes away.

That, I think, goes away after an hour.

Do I have time to take my motorcycle for a spin? Yeah, you do.

No one but us.

We can.

Do you have any bonus actions? I will bonus action Bardic Inspiration X, and I'll be like, girl.

Thank you.
