    My Druid in BG3 is the same. He used to cast like a normal druid, but now that I multiclassed Bard he plays a tune to cast any spell, including those I got from levelling his druid side.

    I wonder how Terry Crews would feel about this sort of type casting. And what about how bards feel? No such thing as a buff bard, is that what we’re going with?

      It gets even weirder in terms of game mechanics. High strength and no armor is kind of an unusual combination. Barbarians and bards (buff or otherwise) both typically wear armor. As do fighters, rangers, rogues, clerics…

      Wizards and sorcerers don’t but also don’t usually benefit much from strength. (Not to mention that bard is a strange multi for either.)

      Conclusion: Terry as pictured is clearly a monk/bard.

    Mechanically, taking a level in bard has all kinds of utility for a Barbarian. Bards lean into utility and support spells at lower levels anyway and many of these do not depend on the Charisma stat whatsoever.

    In my first ever group everyone took a level of bard for fun and we were a literal band of adventurers. I was the Bardbarian.
