Chapter 4: Proficiencies
Following their jack-of-all-trades reputation, bards can learn proficiencies
from the general, rogue, warrior, and wizard proficiency groups. Only those
proficiencies in the priest group cost an additional slot to gain. However, because
most proficiencies fall into more than one group, a lot of proficiencies
listed in the priest group are also available to the bard under another group. In
fact, of all the proficiencies listed in Chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook, only one, healing, is not in one of the bard's proficiency groups. Thus only
healing requires the bard to spend an additional slot to acquire (three total).
