Why can’t bards use shield block? I mean, a rogue more skilled with a shield than a bard? Common! Bards are like foot soldiers, they should know how to use a shield. Besides, they are so frail they need the protection.  |

Ha ha ha- Frail? I beg to differ! Check some logs. Felnoris or Rowena can kick anyone's [REDACTED] with the right song. Actually, make that any bard.  |

Bard sing and dance, SING AND DANCE. Why would they sing and dance with a shield?  |

Rhythmic Gymnastics involves music, movement, and objects, so do many native dances, so there is no reason for Bards not to use shields.  |

Agreed that they are neither the kind of warrior to block a blow with a shield, nor do they NEED this kind of protection. Rogues shouldn't either, probably. But they would need something else to make them decent if shield block was taken away.  |

Perhaps their EXTREMELY [REDACTED] HPs could by any chance be considered such a reason?  |

Bards do not need shield block. If you are afraid of dying, stock up on HP's. Tensin only died to NPCs 3 tiimes and a PC kill 1 time, despite many attempts. He had plenty of HP to keep him alive. Achernar  |

Juggs: I am sorry but I have seen what bards can do. And to be frank, they are not MEANT to be solo characters. In a group of even two or three persons, they are absolutely fantastic and can easily tip the scale of entire battles. Their utility outside battle is quite massive, too.  |
