Class(ic) Introductions: The Bard [Pathfinder 2e]

Hello Travelers & Tourists, Welcome back to Class(ic) Introductions - a series where we examine what different classes have to offer to players! With a nod towards the impending Valentine's Day season, today we will be taking a look at the stereotypically amorous Bard - the standard bearer for the new Occult Magic Tradition in Pathfinder 2e. In other systems, the Bard has often been considered a "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" style class. Does Pathfinder 2e keep this designation, or does the advent of the Occult Magic tradition spell a change in the function & play style of this iconic class? How should a player evaluate the Bard? What is its role in the game? What are its Strengths & Weaknesses? What options does the Bard offer? We examine all of these questions & more!
