Some one did the math for me so I don’t have to do it, all in all, that’s a singing thief. Super easy to kill in pve, too low cha for the bard feats. Unless that character is raised in a group of thiefs and steal for living, what’s there to play?
Why would everyone waste their precious play time to make a bard to beat 127 dc? Now people store precious items in vault anyway. Many small quarters only hit like 40 dc, any dex rogue is good enough. And why is QB such an issue at all? If people break the rules, ban them, problem solved.
You must be new here. You can merely take a look down more of the feedback thread to find people's many, many grievances with quarterbreaking.
At a glance, as a player who has played here for over a year, quarterbreaker groups tend to have a month where they're active, stealing from everyone and everything and demanding copious amounts of money from literally everyone they target, then they get slapped by DMs and fade into utter obscurity. It's what inspired the recent rule change to only steal one item every 24 hours. Like the broken statue in the desert, nothing remains of a once-hubristic conqueror who can just wait until 5am to break into someone's house when they're offline and pilfer their RP fixtures. Ultimately, people have been proven to be unable to behave themselves and use responsibility with their great power repeatedly.
As for why people do it? I don't know, I like being more than a one-trick pony with my builds. Perhaps for the simple joy of "number go up". And let's be real, breaking into people's houses (uh, in-game) is extremely fun.
If you have a dedicated friendgroup to level with (which a lot of us do, it's not even a bad thing to have), a quarterbreaker bard can be leveled in about three weeks. I know people who have leveled in less, with their groups, which is also fine. I don't know what math you did, but bards getting every skill makes it a lot easier for a pure, moderately-mechanically viable bard to hit that sweet sweet 127DC. They don't even have to dip into rogue!
Ultimately I'll redundantly voice my agreement again that bard shouldn't have all class skills, because that's already a thing that specialist has. It's an entirely superfluous feature that adds too much of a hint of power creep for my comfort.
, and prevent from doodle dex bards from ever being created
