Bard

The spooniest of all job classes. The bard's primary job is support through singing songs which affect either the party's or enemies' status through their equipped harps. Their other ability is hiding from battle, which essentially means reducing the party by one, then leaving that one weak member to fend for himself if everyone dies. They have poor strength and can't do much on their own. They are generally seen as one of the worst job classes, especially in the earlier games.
