Hey. Glad you could make it. Welcome to the inside.

This is my first "&" column since we turned on the subscription service, and I want to kick it off in a big way. I want to show you the kind of things you can expect on a regular basis as a member of our elite club -- as a D&D Insider. I want to let you in on the secrets that only Insiders have access to. I want to show you the new elements of the game that you're going to get to see and play with before anyone else. I want you to help us craft the direction of D&D. That's what being an Insider is all about.

In this column, I'm going to show you another class from Player's Handbook 2. This time out, you get to see the bard. I'm showing off one bard build, from level 1 to level 10. Just to give you a taste of how another classic character class translates into 4th Edition. But we'll get to the bard a bit later. I've got a few other things to share with you first.
