As per Calliope’s divination on the Bard in Act 3, the Bard is said to be unbound by fate due to his insignificance. Even if he grew up to be a “Weird song dork”, this aspect of them sounds awfully very powerful. How have they become such a special case in terms of destiny, and what is the extent of their paracausal/acausal power?
It’s not a special case; the divination for just about any random NPC you can run into in the game would probably be the same. Most people in that world just aren’t important enough to have a plan set for them, and the implication there is that the plan is for them to amount to nothing. that assignment does not bestow any special powers per se.
What IS special about the bard is that despite not being handed any cause or destiny, they chose to make one for themselves instead of resigning to be a nobody NPC as they were intended.
