[Bards] the Rules-well sort of.

My initial reaction is simply a comment on wording. Since it will not be a binding document, instead of standards could we call it, "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice to a Young Bard" or even "lessons learned"? For some reason "standards" sets alarm bells ringing in my somewhat fuddled brain.

The conversation of late has gotten me thinking.
What if, just maybe, we assembled a written document that lays out the
standards a bard should adhere to? I'm not talking about a binding
document with penalties, but a code of expected conduct as applied to
bards.

Again, I'm not talking about any legally binding document, but rather a
collection of written statements reflecting the lessons learned by us,
so we can generate a basic measure against which others can compare
their decisions. A consensus document containing the lowest common
denominators, so to speak, of bardic etiquette.
Their is nothing saying that it is binding, or even static, we are more
than capable of updating it as time passes and the kingdom changes. But
as it stands right now, the best way to learn these lessons is from
other bards, and that in and of itself can be a limiting factor for people.
