I don't know if any of you subscribe to DDI or.. have seen teh bard preview from various sundry methods, however I have seen it and I have to say "THEY RUINED D&D! THEY KILLED THE MOST SACRED OF COWS! THEY MADE BARDS A CLASS PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY PLAY!"
Ok silly rant over, but its a neat jack of all trades, Leader class that feels strongly different than Cleric, Warlords and Even the ARtificer preview.
