Bard

The Bard class of Unforgotten Realms Live is notable for being a support and utility caster with the ability to deceive or manipulate enemies. Whether controlling characters with Charm or putting enemies to sleep with Lullaby, the Bard is living proof that actions can be louder than words, or in the Bard's case, lyrics.
