==Bard==
Available as described in ''Player’s Handbook'', with the following notes:
* In a small departure from the rules as written, bards utilize Divine magic rather than arcane. In all other respects, their magic works as described.
* Note that the class feature ''Bardic Knowledge'' is modified as so: A bard's class level is added as a bonus to skill checks for ''Knowledge (History & Legends)''. If a bard has no ranks in ''Knowledge (History and Legends)'', he may still make a check using his Int Bonus and class level.
* Bards are particularly drawn to the Elvin City of [[Luminaux]], renowned as a city of music, art, and culture.
 
==Virtuoso==
Another bard variant, this is one that concentrates the most on performance skills and powers. This class is where you find your classic stage diva or over-egotistical actor/singer/celeb.
 
* The Spells Requirement of first Arcane Caster Level is changed to first Divine caster level.
* Members of this class are typically found in the upper echelons of Mask & Scroll, the performer's guild. There, they teach, perform, and hold positions of authority.
* Although most of the members of the Order of [[the Voice of Harmony]] belong to the [[Divine Voice]] prestige class, some are members of this class instead, or in addition.
