We have gone a bit full circle here though and are back at chain system and 4 vs 6.
I do think a few things have gone wonky in Patch 8 and expect a Hotfix at some point, especially regarding the Long Rest and food issue.
I'll post the Chain stuff in the man thread.
Given this patch is about the Bard though... I must admit upfront, I don't usually play those types of support classes, as a result I am less likely to pick them in my party if I have limited spaces. There is plenty of crossover in 5th Ed, but having played a fair amount of the EA (though certainly less than many here), I would still claim that whilst I love 6 in the originals, 5 I think would be the sweet spot here for me in terms of party skill composition (I would equaly be happy with 6 being implemented, just saying a compromise of 5 would already make me happy). In a 4 man party, I am unlikely to take the Bard along with me (in Single Player), in a 5 that becomes more interesting and in a 6, yeah easy.
