I won’t lie to you, almost no one wanted to play the Bard. A dude that plays a ukulele just isn’t a sexy as a Wizard that can summon a meteor to blow up the planet or a Cleric that can raise an army back from the dead. All you’ve got are your little tunes. I think this is just because of the way the Bard has been presented. Why isn’t he a rock and roll idol that uses his guitar to smite his foes with lightning? You could totally make the Bard that guy…At least in 4th Edition.
