Bards have been a class we've been looking at, but the challenge is to get unique, non-copyrighted songs that are also good. And then having multiple songs for each effect you want a bard to be able to make becomes very difficult indeed.

We've had song contests in the past with limited success. A handful of songs are appropriate, and then there's always the lurking suspicion that some of them might be plagiarized. We've had people submit other people's works to try to win contests before.

We are thinking about what we can do differently. Bards just have some unique challenges that slow down the process of changing them.
