Bard Subclasses
The following subclasses are available for this class. Options marked (Player's Handbook) or (PHB) refer to the archetype present in both the 2014 and 2024 editions, potentially with minor name variations between versions; players can consult either PHB for the core concept. Other sources list the original publication.
Note that some subclasses listed may replace others where concepts have been significantly redesigned, or may be renamed to better fit the Eldareth setting. Subclasses marked with [R] have been renamed for flavor, while those marked with [W] have been significantly reworked or replace a previous concept.
All listed subclasses may require adaptation to fit Eldareth's custom base classes, preserving the core theme. Adjustments can be reviewed upon request.
