Bards are limited in their armor types to padded, leather, studded leather or chain mail; they may not wear ring, scale, banded, splinted or plate armors. They are prohibited from using shields and great helmets, but may use normal helmets if they desire.
Bards are able to employ magic items that are normally employed by fighters and thieves. Bards begin with two weapon proficiencies. A new weapon proficiency is gained for every 3rd level above 1st. Below is a list of weapons a bard may use:
(List to be rebuilt. See weapon proficiencies)
For additional notes regarding these weapons, see the Weapons List.
Bolas are designed so that if thrown at humanoids, on an adjusted 20, the balls and rope will wrap around arms and legs; the creature so struck must make save vs. petrification or be helpless; otherwise the creature will be able to free itself in 2-5 rounds.

This page does not at present include the non-proficiency penalty of the bard.
ReplyDeleteNeither does the cleric page, I see. I do intend to put up a page for non-proficiency weapon penalties, but not today. Thanks for the note, Tim.
