So if I wanted to make a bard, when does the specialization happen, and what starting stats should I be looking to do?
Do bards get any magic?
The wiki just has a class description.
Thanks!

Base class: Rogue
First opportunity to specialize opens up at level 7.
I'd assume you want to stay with the same stats you've been going with as a rogue: Dex, Cun, and some Con/Will sprinkled in for stamina. Won't know for sure until the 3rd (or 6th for non-NA folks).
Bards don't have magic in the sense that mages do, but they do get songs. IIRC, singing a song is a full-time gig, so while your character is singing you can't do anything else in the way of attacking or moving.

Also, you have to learn the specialization from an in-game trainer of some sort. Posting who or where would be a spoiler.
Bards sing songs that buff or debuff, but get access to no spells whatsoever, just like any rogue.
Edit: Also, the only song that counts as a "full time gig" is the last one, judging from descriptions in the guide.

Aww no spells. But, guess I'll plan for a straight-up rogue and hope that adding stats in magic isn't needed for bard singing.

I'd be very suprised if magic had any effect on singing, yes.Brassfire wrote...

We've updated the wiki:
Specializations
Bards
Only mages get magic; a bard is a rogue specialization.

Can one not specialize in anything? Would that be a disadvantage?

You can presumably choose not to specialize. It would, however, be a disadvantage. Even if you don't put any points into any of the talents of the specialization, specializing gives a one-time bonus to spec-specific stats.NotSoEager wrote...

Ths is what i use most of time on Bard (Leliana)
The bard begins an entrancing song that stuns hostile targets nearby unless they pass a mental resistance check every few seconds. Continuing the song does not drain stamina, but the bard cannot move or take any other action while singing.
So it does a masive stun aria and in that moment i switch on Mage and i do a masive aria damage and all creeps dies...Actually i can play in Nightmare mode with only 1 Mage and 1 bard in team ...That good they are
