[The Alpha Bat]

Hard pass on the SAN scaling. There's a reason why only a few things scale off it on bard.

SAN is a good attribute but it doesn't benefit everyone equally. Humans only get the stats from it and for corrupted it actively hurts their racials. Having it be required on a class would create an anti-synergy with those races. For a game focused on race/class freedom, do you really want that? I'm not prepared to say that humans and corrupted simply aren't as good at being bards as others. Corrupted already can't get Lovely Face and I don't want any more of that blood on my hands.


Obviously, some races have worked better with certain classes than others in the past (looking at you, Gain Air) but these classes were never dependent on certain races or, in this potential case, excluding them.

I think a more 'outside-of-the-box' approach is necessary here. Maybe something along the lines of giving bard an alternative way to gain Sound ATK.
