Bard
With a song in their hearts, bards take an instrument in one hand and a weapon in the other to fight their foe with pure creativity. Whether on a stage or fighting in the field, the bard is skillful and adept with magic, a blade and a silver tongue. Being storytellers, actors, song masters, dancers, and poets, the Thraelian bard uses their gift of lore and natural born skill to entertain the masses found in one realm or another.
The bard uses a combination of spells and throwing weapons offensively and relies on its evasion defensively.
