Bard

The **Bard** is one of the 3 playable characters in the D&D Campaign, the other two being the Barbarian and Wizard. He is the party's support class and healer, who uses his charisma to manifest his words into magic.

As with the other 2 players, the Bard can be controlled every 2 turns or so, when Doug picks a random Twitch Chat member typing the word "!bard", using the ChatGod app. Said player will be able to control the Bard and make moves as him on his turn.

## Personality

Prior to any gameplay, Doug let Twitch Chat vote on few personality traits for all 3 characters, as a sort of foundation point for their personalities.

The Bard is extremely horny, although this personality trait hasn't appeared too frequently during gameplay. However, in most scenarios he has failed terribly in persuasion and charisma rolls, most evident when he tried to seduce the Legosaur.

This has made people make fun of him for having negative rizz. He is also a pathological liar, which builds on his expertise with words.

## Abilities

The Bard has an Armor Class (AC) of 13, meaning enemies would have to roll a 13 or higher to hit him, making him pretty balanced defensively. Just like the other players, he has 3 Hearts. Below is a list of his abilities:

* **Vicious Mockery** (Every Turn)

Allows Bard to emotionally insult an opponent, rolling to damage them. If they survive this attack, the enemy's next attack will be weaker (how this is implemented is unknown).

* **Cure Wounds** (Once per Floor)

Lets him touch and then heal an ally for 1 Heart of health. The Bard has to be within close proximity of said ally.

* **Motivational Speech** (Once per Floor)

Makes him say a motivational and inspiring speech, and after it, allows all 3 player characters to add 5 to their next attack roll.

* **Suggestion** (Once per Stream)

Lets him magically influence a sentient creature to do something. Said creature must roll to resist the spell, and if they fail, they must do everything in their power to follow what the Bard just said.

## Character History

### Pre-Campaign

In the past he was married to the Wizard and had at least 6 kids with her. Later on he was a YouTuber of a family vlog channel, starring the Bard, Wizard, and their kids. Unfortunately Bard got cancelled for an unknown reason, and then the Bard and Wizard got divorced. To this day, Bard still hasn't paid child support for his 6 kids.

They still remained friends, and they later met the Barbarian, where the 3 traveled around Chatopia together. However, one day a witch named Babagaboosh, cast a spell on the three. This spell had restricted their thinking, and only allowed one single braincell to activate every 2 turns or so.

## Trivia

* In the original stream, the image of the Bard had a comment underneath saying 'Looks like RTGame LUL".
* The Babagaboosh backstory, if it wasn't obvious already, is an in-universe explanation for the way Doug lets Chat play the characters.
* Despite being know to be very good with words Bard has failed to seduce enemies on many occasions
