My friends were going to start a campeign this week, anyway, I'm DM for the campeign, but afterward, we were going to switch off, and I play. Now I was hoping to be a Paladin, but my second choice was Bard. Could someone help me out with tactic ideas for a bard.

Here's my Bard:

Name: N/A
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Bard-1 (wanting to multiclass into rouge)
Alignment: Chaotic Neuteral
Deity: Olidammara (or whatever the god of theives may be.)

This bard is a crack thief, Highly Dexterous, Inteligent, and Charismatic, Although the fact that he is a vagabond makes him an immediate target whenever he pulls a job. He trys to go without killing or harming the innocent, but he can't resist a heist worthy of his skill (not to mention the payoff).

Help me out please!!

The bard is the perfect combination between melee and ranged attacks and also magic, you should know that the most special and important skill of the bard is the Bardic Knowlwdge.
In Faerun the most preciuous treasure is the information, and you have a special ability to gather some and know very good information.

you should know that the bard its better in ranged positions to attack with bow or crossbows, also is good to have some magic weapons or devices.

one of the most important charachteristic of the bard is the use of music in all aspects, to gather food, information or some special things like keys or security. Be the music and use it wise.

It's a good start...keep going with personality traits.
