Default Bards

Does anyone have any rules for Bards in TW2K?

The rules system I was using for my last campaign had a few skills associated with creating music. You could put a generic "Music" skill into any system, perhaps with specialties.

I guess if a combat bard hit the right chord with his audience (pun intended) you could have some sort of boost to morale.

In my last campaign there was an NPC based on "Stitch" Jones from Heartbreak Ridge. I think the PCs found him kind of annoying. He didn't make it home.

The Earl of Funk, the Duke of Cool, the Ayatollah of Rock-and-Roll-a? Surely you jest. Who could not love such a character?

Perhaps TW2K Bard is like the very badass 1st edition AD&D bard - after the PCs have gone through 2 terms of infantry (any branch) and 2 terms of criminal, they can, if they have excellent characteristics, become a bard.

Casting druid spells in woodland Europe rules!

"Traveling entertainers" would be an excellent cover for a Spetznaz team.

I think I've just decided on my next T2K player character.

Easy enough.... Character was in the army playing for a Regimental Band when shite hit the fan and he had to pick up a gun. REMF's make great characters. Mail clerk, Dentist, Cook....

If you ever read Starship Trooper, he talked about the effect on morale music had.

And always...

Bagpipers.
