I was wondering why the Bard class is limited to the races it is? I believe it should be limited..... But only to things to farfetched. And just to prove my point here is a little snip from my favorite book the FR campaign setting.
Preferred Character Regions: Bards are common in many lands, including Amn, Chessenta, Cormyr, the Dalelands, the Dragons Coast, Evermeet, Luiren(92% halfling), Impiltur, the Moonshaes, Silverymoon, Tethyr, Thesk, Unther, the Vast, Waterdeep, and the Western Heartlands. Gold dwarves, moon elves, sun elves, lightfoot halflings and strongheart halflings are also common.

Class/race restrictions exist for all races save human and half elf and I have always agreed with that, for one thing it keeps humans the primary race, which they should be.

As one of the exceptions to the rule I would be very disappointed if bards were suddenly opened to other races. I spent nearly three RL years RPing to become a bard, it would cheapen the work I put in to getting where I am today.

Of course, if someone is willing to put in two years plus of RP in to it, I would be more than happy to see it happen.
