Evidently if you make them bards, they have a whole new round of voice acting lines. loke the actors specifically recorded a bunch of bard lines, just in case you made them one. I’d make karlach a bard but she’s so strong as barb
I want to spec everyone into at least one level of bard and give them all different instruments. Most of them are non-charismatic so having the thaumaturgy cantrip might be a necessity.
Can’t you just have everyone talk to Alfira for musical instrument proficiency? They won’t have performance proficiency but at least they can play instruments. Mostly.
It's like 50/50 for me if they fail when they don't have performance. But if you're that set on it you can take the actor feat which gives performance proficiency.
Yeah I might do that instead. It's not like I'm committed to a whole playthrough, but 50% failure rate is high when I'm trying to get 4 good performances at once.
