Hmm...what do I do with this class?

Ok, now that even I got the facts about the cap ability and creature types right, my question about the class's hit die still remains.

Unless I am utterly blinded by WotC's shiny "Service unavailable" DnD homepage, it doesn't say in the first post what the HD is.

I assume it is d6, like bard, but considering that this class has no means of dealing direct/high damage until very late (unlike the normal bard with his spells, or the warlock with his eldritch blast), a d8 wouldn't be too farfetched.

So, what did our master chef had in mind? :D

Oh sorry, I was distracted. I was thinking D6 hit die.

It does have some unlimited use abilities available at low levels that don't outright kill, but are none-the-less quite potent. Things like cause fear and lesser confusion at will. I'd go so far as to say this class is pretty darned powerful at low levels.

No problem. I see, my assumption was correct.

Hmmmm, I really hadn't thought about those. I guess you're right. ;)

Thanks for the answers, thou. And if I really get to play a minstrel (or troubadour, or lyricist, or whatever ^^) in the near future, I'm going to let you know how the class worked out. :D
