Song and Silence: A Guidebook to Bards and Rogues (Dungeon \u0026 Dragons d20 3.0 Fantasy Roleplaying) Reviews

Didn't like this at all. This sourcebook is mediocre at best. Since it's for the 3rd edition, there's little reason to bother with this at all.
The prestige classes, aside from one, are very generic and hardly "prestigious".
The items, musical instruments, and spells are ok I suppose, as additional options, but I found the spell list lazy - many of them seem suited for wizards and clerics yet they were made exclusive to assassins and bards. There are a handful of tactical options, but felt like just more complications.
About the only notable sections are the ones on trap construction, sample traps, sample thieves' guilds and sample bardic colleges.
The thing that I can't stand most is the almost frivolous approach in describing things about the bard class. It almost felt like they weren't even being serious.
The easiest place to have scored was to highlight more role-playing and non-combat opportunities for rogues and bards, yet this was barely examined. -
3rd edition D&D, a short lived edition of Dungeons and Dragons that changed the game greatly and sent it off in the direction that it has continued to move in. These books were planed to aid in the building of the different character classes (there was a set of these).
If you decided to use some of the ideas from this book and adapt them to another edition I suppose you could. I decided I wouldn't care to and sold the set. To each his own, each later edition has somewhat simplified the game (read dumbed down) so I plan to try and stay with 2nd edition. -
Basic Premise: A supplement for D&D 3.0 for skills-based characters.
Much like all of the books of this type, it gives new feats, spells, abilities, and sundry details to add to the game. It's a combination of mostly crunch and a little fluff to make things interesting. The book is useful to players, but not indispensible. -
Options would be hard to use for a bard. Traps section is very good.
