Just like Specialists in the Weird Fantasy Grindhouse Edition, Bards must be unencumbered to use many of their class skills.

They favor brightly colored clothing when in urban areas, but have been known to "tone it down" while adventuring.
I'd be open to letting Bards be of any race with no racial benefits given.
