Good pathfinder Adventure Paths for an all-Bard gestalt.


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


Basically, I'm going to running an all-bard gestalt game, and am wondering if any adventure paths are particularly well suited to this type of game.

All IMO, etc.:

Council of Thieves (especially the second installment) could work fairly well.

Kingmaker with a party of bards? Nice!

Bards work well with the investigative aspects of Serpent's Skull (maybe one of them is an archaeologist...).

Carrion Crown has several installments where a normal bard will have issues, but a dirge bard would be a decent fit.

Jade Regent might have some issues, depending on the interactions with the "companion" NPCs. However, there are also some opportunities.

Shattered Star deals with a lot of ancient lore, so bards will often be useful.

Mummy's Mask, like Serpent's Skull and Shattered Star, deals with a lot of investigation and ancient lore.

Reign of Winter, Wrath of the Righteous, Iron Gods, and Giant Slayer can work, but they aren't as well suited as some of the other APs.


Skull and Shackles would work very well with a party of bards, as long as they are a little varied in how they work. For instance, an archeologist bard, an arcane healer, an arcane duelist, and a magician bard would be a very effective combination. Such a combination would have difficulty with condition removal, so it would be wise to take Sandara Quinn as a cohort at the earliest opportunity.

Silver Crusade

Council of Thieves for sure.

Hell's Rebels is just coming out, but from what I understand, it would probably be awesome with a group of all bards.
