Song and Silence: A Guidebook to Rogues and Bards is an optional rulebook for the3rd edition ofDungeons & Dragons, and notable for itstrade paperback format.
TheSong and Silence guidebook provides supplemental information for characters belonging to theRogue andBard base classes. This book contained tips for creating and playing characters of the aforementioned class, as well as a large number of prestige classes.
This book was written byDavid Noonan andJohn D. Rateliff and published in 2001 byWizards of the Coast. Cover art was byTodd Lockwood, with interior art byDavid Roach andWayne Reynolds.
Although it was not updated to 3.5 Edition, most of the prestige classes were reintroduced in the 3.5 supplemental source bookComplete Adventurer, and a few inComplete Arcane.
The reviewer fromPyramid noted theprestige classes in the book, and felt that it offered "some jim-dandies in this one", including thethief-acrobat, and the Fang of Lolth, "which starts with the assumption that a PC tries to access an artifact not meant for humanoids with a Use Magic Device roll. Hijinks ensue." The reviewer continued: "The rest of the prestige classes, while they are interesting and fulfill crucial roles, do not make stretch the genre my motor run and the way that the Fang of Lolth does. Yes, the crime-fighting Vigilante, the Robin Hood-ish Outlaw of the Crimson Road, and the swashbuckly Dread Pirate do exactly what a prestige class is meant to do: help to define a setting."[1]
