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?
Is it though...more ridiculous than a wizard making hand signs, chewing some pepper or worse like fire beetle belly and mumbling some jumbo or a cleric praying for a miracle(ie godly intervention) holding a piece of clay?
Personally I'm not a fan of the bard class but I simply view their instruments as spell focuses.
