I don't know. I kinda liked the bard spellcasting. Bards have always seemed a bit ridiculous to me. I mean, imagine it. Troll lumbers up on the party. What does the bard pull out? A flute. Starts twittling about and prancing as magic swirls about to attack the troll. Thunder wave!

Seems a bit ridiculous by nature. Don't you think?

The lute is a bit big though, I will say that.
