{{ClassNotes
 | info = <br>Though trained as entertainers, bards are more powerful than they appear. They’re one of the most versatile classes, as they can take on many different roles. When necessary, they can join in hand-to-hand combat, buff party members to strengthen them, or assist with healing and power recovery. Skilled bards are assets to any party.

Both stamina and agility are a bard’s primary stats. Humans and Elves can train as bards.<br>
<b>Elf</b>: Elves are slightly less sturdy than Humans, but their high dexterity and charisma make them a natural fit for the bard’s versatile role.<br>
<b>Human</b>: Humans are the strongest overall choice for would-be bards, with excellent stamina and agility to support both combat and party utility.<br>
