Not all bards are sane, either.
All of my sample characters so far have been moderately efficient to downright cheesy. This one isn't – she's a roleplaying challenge. Whether she's even playable depends a lot on the charity of the GM and other players. But she illustrates that bards aren't always dashing lads and lasses with floppy hats and whippy swords.

"Yes," said Pinky Dink, as the guards carried off her screaming victim. She leaned closer and whispered, "Yes. They saw you do it, and so did I . . . from behind your eyes."

"Sorry," Pinky Dink whispered, "but I didn't never ever learn the Sleep spell. I can sing you a lullaby, tho. Tekeli-li, tekeli-la . . ."

This is... this is why we can't have sane things.

Re: Not all bards are sane, either.
So far this is my favorite of all the characters in this forum :) I'm tempted to include her as an NPC of a rival party of adventurers for my players. Maybe I'll use some of the other characters from here for the same party. That could be so much fun :D

Re: Not all bards are sane, either.
She's probably better as an NPC. Of course, if the NPC wizard casts Invisibility on her and the PCs' first exposure to her is her appearing nearby as she sings the Song of Terror . . . that might make an impression.
