do you ever have something click in your mind

#gonna talk about hope and multiclass stuff down here so. uh. yeah. no real specific spoilers but it is a hell of a ramble #also thanks nines for the subclass suggestion youve given me something to truly be insane about. anyway #Because. Bards. Especially lore bards to me are something I love because!! it's the magical secrets at level six!! not even for mechanical #reasons. it's just the storytelling. the want to preserve that knowledge and grow new stories from it (it's a cycle. stories are.) #it becomes even more intrinsic to the class. preserving histories and connection. thinking about how hope's songs are folk tales and #lullabies she learned as a kid. and. Bards! high charisma! you have performance! but you're a support caster you're not in the spotlight. #filling in the gaps. helping everyone be better! helping everyone along their story! the rng of binspo. you're trusting the dice to tell it #a bit of luck sure but it's all up to fate and chance and sometimes chance is all you have! but! you! make! the! best! of! it! and then. #clerics. ough. clerics obviously have their connection with the divine but to me it's more about what the cleric themself believes. #you ally yourself with the beliefs of a god. It's your beliefs your hopes your dreams!! that's all you! you chose to believe in that #and your belief is made real! into its purest form as magic but that magic is *you* it's your love. it's her love. and the peace domain too #you're not built for fighting. the social cleric class. Talking to people is literally Your Thing. you gain a people skill 1st level. #because communication is your thing! it's your magic! combine that with a high level bard and ough. emboldening bond too. #you believe in these people so much. you love so much that the connections between you all become that magic. Trust so strong it's tangible #But it's still only fate! Bond isnt a set amount it's a d4 it's still up to the dice It's about being a bard and believing in your craft #and telling the story while you're still in it. it's a story you will never be able to completely control but you love these people #and you're willing to try to get them a happy end regardless. and you know they're trying too. #hope #is this 1am gibberish? yes. #has dnd brainrot got to me? yes
