College of Precision

Bards of the College of Precision were trained in the art of investigation and insight. Mastering their history of arcana and detective skills they are a great addition to any party. These silver-tongued tricksters typically mask their identity whenever possible approaching each newcomer with caution. They can assume an entirely different identity and act as though they have been that person their entire life. College of Precision Bard often has a sense of superiority over those who cannot keep up with them but will gladly take the backseat and observe while supporting the bull who wants to run face-first into combat.

These masters of deceit and investigation use others as pawns to get what they need to solve a puzzle or gain favor with a powerful ally, they often become charlatans and masking this lack of knowledge with facts and history that make them seem more important than they really are. When it comes to battle these characters are feared due to the mysterious nature of their personas, and extreme precision.
