Bard
Using spells, skills, and powerful magical songs, Bards are the ultimate support characters, simultaneously strengthening friends and weakening foes.
Playing songs is the Bard's most impressive ability. With songs bards can give a boost to their allies abilities or subdue foes. The Fascinate Song can mesmerize and immobilize enemies better than any other class's spells or abilities.
Bards also have mastery of many different kinds of spells. They can heal allies or attack and manipulate foes and have more spell points than any other melee or specialist classes.
With this special blend of abilities, Bards can make any party more effective, reguardless of composition.
