I had a mini-debate about this at the bar last friday night.

Take someone like George R. R. Martin in RL.

Okay, in D&D terms, would he be considered a Bard because of his high storytelling ability or some other class that is more equated to a commoner in medieval times in our world?

I know many factors encompass say real life Charisma. The hot Sorceress in D&D may have an 18 Charisma score but is doesn't mean she is a born leader.

So with that kind of thinking and those kind of factors in mind -- many aspects creating one result, like an ability score -- my friend and I went at it about this issue.

Is a Storyteller a Bard?

Thoughts.



Thanks everyone.
