Halfling Bards

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I can't quite figure out why halflings cannot be bards. There a good reason for this that I can't see?

WC my friend, you've won the internet for today.

Halflings can be the following classes:

Warrior, Thief, Cleric, Blademaster and Ranger.

Did I get that right: Halfling? (Y/N)>y

If you are new to Forsaken Lands and wish to initially avoid the PLAYER-KILLING.

We suggest you play with the ADVENTURER class which is exempt from PK attacks.

Do you wish to view the Adventurer class information? [Y/N]>n

You may choose from following professions:

  1. warrior 350 Exp 2. ranger 550 Exp

  2. thief 350 Exp 4. cleric 350 Exp

  3. bard 350 Exp 6. blademaster 650 Exp

Class [1 - 6]>

They can be. Someone just needs to update the help file.

Ha! NOW I get it...

Ever wondered why the avians cannot join the Paladins guild ?

Its because goliaths once lost at a cards game with a Avian and from that day forth no more Avians on Paladins guild.

I once had a halfling bard. Her name was Digera Doo. I had tons of fun with her. There is a bard guild in the Shire, BTW.

I wonder why avians can't use ANY communes........

heh and if they could hwo puts bets on them being made evil only

-snicker-

I'm curious to that one myself -laughs-

I think the issue is with perm fly tanks.

What's wrong with avian healers?

I think the issue is with perm fly tanks.

WC

Faerie battlemage is pretty close.

Yeah, but you do have the stigma of playing a faerie.

WC

I have yet be running for my life against a faerie. If they could be evil or neutral, I'd probably give a shot at playing one just because of that.

Perma fly tanks?

What you call a Paladin with mounted combat and a 160+ hours Mount ?

I mean that is more that 1 hour, and you can refresh your mount anytime you wish.

A step under a perm flying paladin, atleast.

WC

Perm flying paladins don't get the charge bonus though.

Actually, there is a way to get "perm fly"... And I'm not speaking of the (rotting) wings got from killed flying mobs.

Since the begining of fl, anytime someone brought up the idea of a avian paladin/cleric, the imms, maybe this staff thinks differently, always maintained that a perm flight on a cleric or paladin is a very bad thing.

Besides, what does mounted charge have to do with being a tank anyway? I know for a fact there are other ways for paladins to be nasty in a fight without mounted charge. They didn't always have that ability, and before they had it they seemed to fair just fine.

The issue with perm flight is that you almost never lose it(two ways, both class specific?), and there is no upkeep. Where as all other abilities mentioned have upkeep of some kind, and ways to remove them that are much more widely accessible.

Yeah, there are ways to get perm flight, two I am aware of, and each are very special and very rare.

WC

What's wrong with avian healers?

The general excuse is that everyone would think they were angelic/gods or that they would pretend to be such.

I honestly have no idea. I just think its a bit too strict, just to counter for autoflight when they have a glaring weakness vuln point hit by a fairly easy to get weapon AND spell AND -two- skills.....

heh.
