5 Strong Backstories for Bards (D&D/RPGs)

6.5K views • 2 years ago • 24:11 The cheap version of the bard is everywhere—the goofy minstrel who’s always holding a lute. It’s time to fight back and put out some deep, powerful ideas for bard characters. These backstories could also potentially work for other classes (such as cleric or sorcerer for Laisela, barbarian for Zurruk, or wizard for Kyamil). Whether you play D&D, Pathfinder, or some other RPG system, you have the opportunity to make your bard a keeper of the lifeblood of epic fantasy and a steward of the words of creation. 📜 Free newsletter sign-up - Scrolls of the Bard: http://eepurl.com/dgJBb9 Support the channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EsperTheBard Check out my 5e book and modules: https://esperthebard.com/shop Discord: https://discord.gg/zZ3J2Hn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Esper-the-Bard-645947038769607/ ————— Preorder Monstrous Heroes: https://monstrous-heroes-5e-monster-classes.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders ————— #dndstories #dndcharacter #backstory Chapters 0:00 Making a Bard Who’s More Than a Stereotype 0:34 Bran - The Wartorn 4:03 Asher - The Shield Painter 9:21 Laisela - The Island Dancer 14:42 Zurruk - The Edgewalker 19:04 Kyamil - The Treasure Hunter 23:21 Patron Benefits / Outro
