College of Kindred Spirits

Not all bards are solo acts, some combine their talents with others to make their acts memorable to all who see. Bards of the College of Kindred Spirits learn to work in a group and combine their abilities in any tasks varying from the simple to the complex.

Any being who these bards call an ally have earned a friend for life. Although most Kindred Spirit bards try to get the spotlight and be the leader of any given group, they ultimately care for the people in their group and would do anything for them. If you fall out of favor with a Kindred Spirit bard, you have forged a life long nemesis.
