I think you're just confused. Maybe you just haven't met the right bard yet?
What? No!
I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with BARDS, anon. They’re all the same! Always wearing their stupid hats and barging into conversations uninvited to brag about their latest adventures, strumming along on their M’Lutes.
Expecting a larger share of the treasure because they were around when you needed a Cure Light Wounds, as if they’re owed more for simply being a good teammate.
Bah! BAH I SAY! Bah to all BARDS!
