    Tested, Works for me!  My point about Alphabetizing is now moot.

    I thought it was pretty obvious pandering, but I guess I'll have to try harder next time.  (Joking, it's all part of the show, folks.)

    Ah, yeah, I'm not good with text sarcasm :P

    So, just an update of things that have been done with this build since completion, and what else that needs to be done.

    • The "(Completed)" part has been removed from the title. In addition, the "Character Build:" part has been removed as well, since, as a couple of people have pointed out, it isn't really a character build.
    • Added a table of contents that links directly to the build in question (e.g. clicking on "Warrior" in the table of contents will link you directly to the warrior build), which should make navigation a lot easier.
    • Edited the foreword to the build a little bit. giving thanks to Moth Priest and Ponty, as well as giving a link to my other builds.

    What still needs to be done:

    • Between the classes that Moth Priest tested and the ones I've played before and since making this topic, the only classes that remain to be playtested are the Pilgrim (partway done), Rogue, and Witchhunter, who will have changes made to them if necessary after playtesting. It shouldn't be too much longer until I'm done with all of them.
    • I plan on going through the official tags in order to find more examples of different classes for those without examples already (i.e. most of them). For classes that I can't find adequate examples for, I may just take what I have for the corresponding class on here and flesh it out into its own build (for builds that I have playtested myself, that shouldn't be too hard).

    I wish each build had an example on how to role play each class instead of giving a generic background on their skills...

    "A true bard isn't some pansy who sits in an inn all day playing on a lute for petty gold"... Umm... Yeah... Yeah, they kinda are. Sorry, just the bard has always been my favorite class from RPG's, and they are almost always a musician or story teller when they are not adventuring...

    Not a bad idea. I might add some roleplay notes to each build.

    If Bards go out adventuring, doesn't it follow that they aren't sitting in the inn playing their lute all day? Can't be doing something all day if you're out doing other things too.

    Yeah, but it's still their favorite pass time and how they make a majority of their money :P

    Good point. That line was actually taken from Moth Priest's version so I can't say what the original intent behind that line was, but I thought of it as meaning "There's more to a bard than just some dude sitting around playing a lute."
