Dec 08, 2007  How to Play a Bard in Dungeons and Dragons. The Bard class combines elements of a Rogue with light spellcasting capabilities. Bards are performers by nature, and those who aren't busy using their charisma to entertain crowds or ladies are. Spells: To cast a particular spell, you must have a Cha score of at least 10 + the spell's level. Your bonus spells are based on your Charisma. Saves to avoid the effects of your spells have a DC of 10 + the spell's level + your Str bonus + your Cha bonus (if any). Bardbarian spells may be cast while in a rage. You cast spells as a Bard does.

Halfling Female Bard Halflings get a +1 to saving trows which is a huge help concidering this will be a highly specilized bard and every stat will be -1 except dex and cha. Before looking at the stats just relize that a bard is mainly a 'fill in the blank' class and is used for support.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: As the standard bard in the Player's Handbook. A prestige bard can cast any arcane spells in light armor without the normal arcane spell failure chance.

Spellcasting: When a new prestige bard level is gained (except at 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 13th level), the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in whatever arcane spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class.
