Bardic

A Bardic is similar to a Bard in the same way a Nordic is similar to a Nord, which is to say not at all.

A Bardic is a wandering minstrel poet, using sound and voice to tell stories. They wandering Battal, collecting stories of the most ordinary and regaling the peasant folk with them. Some Bardic's collect the stories of great heroes and villains, epic battles and stunning quests, but there is as a whole less of a demand for these than there is about, say, Mort the Dairyman. The standard Bardic uses a lyre, a fife, or a beatnik-style bongo.

A Bard, on the other hand, is described on a page of its own. The practical upshot of the difference is that having a Bard along on an adventure is very useful. Taking a Bardic will likely get you killed.
