Looks like charisma classes ftw. For everybody who loves playing as a bard, there’s one benefit that I think even most bards don’t know about. And that is, if you get musical instrument proficiency for all of your companions, one way or another (Alfira, feat, bard class level), you actually become a BAND and can make some beautiful music. (Try it out, you won’t regret it. In one of the songs at least, they take turns doing solos where one instrument shines more than the others.) So I really like having bards in my party.
Argghhh I wish I'd known this earlier. We're Lvl 11 now in my current bard run, and I didn't bother to collect and save other musical instruments. So it's probably too late now to get all party members trained.
