The Reporter Bard: The D&D Class That Stops Your Campaign from Resetting Most D&D campaigns suffer from the same quiet problem: incredible events happen, and then they vanish. Dungeons are cleared, villains fall, and kingdoms are saved, but by the next session the world has already reset. The solution isn't a rules fix—it's a missing role. Tonight, we dive into the Reporter Bard: a character built not to perform stories, but to witness, verify, preserve, and release them back into the world. This is a framework that fundamentally changes how a campaign feels. We trace the concept from its deep roots in the Forgotten Realms cosmology—from the faithful of Deneir to the original thaumaturgical training of the half-elf Falataer, all the way to the established journalistic and information-gathering work of the Heralds of Faerûn. We then look at how this archetype has echoed through every major D&D ruleset and modern indie system, before exploring why the 2024 Bard is uniquely suited to finally make this role explicit at the table. We’ll cover skills, spells (Detect Thoughts, Tongues, Scrying), and how subclasses like Lore, Eloquence, Spirits, and Whispers transform into different, specialized investigative beats. The Reporter Bard is not a gimmick. They are the character who makes continuity matter. They are the voice of history being written. Settle back, grab a tasty beverage, it's time to get deeply nerdy.
