Once you sing the Bardic Music effects last 5 rounds from when you STOP singing. So Sing, then Rage, and you still get the effects for another 4 rounds. Longer if you take Lingering Song, which I would suggest if your songs keep falling short.

I'd say go for it. Even better if you can find a PrC to take one level in, but the fighter level is worth it. Benefits include: Shield prof, a feat, weapon profs, a good Fort save, better hit dice. Worth it for a fighting Bard. A better choice is Barbarian IMO though. You still get the...

Shouldn't this be called the 'EnWorld bandwith eating thread' then?

Bards lost Haste too, one of their best spells. Well, you know what I mean.... Damn, sounds like WotC changed EVERYTHING. They might as well called it 4e. :(

Wait a min, why do you need Weapon Finesse for the Whip Dagger? It's a ranged weapon so uses DEX, right? Is that another change?

I dunno about the revision, but in 3.0 a Trip attempt was a straight Strength contest. Who is gonna have a higher strength, you or a deticated combat character/monster? Likewise Disarm is a straight opposed attack roll. Who's gonna win that one, a Bard or the +1BAB/level classes? Both...

That tack hammer one, thats the best i've heard ever. The way he delivers it is perfect.

It's for after facing enemies with Vorpal weapons.

Bad News Bears?

Lots of good suggestions here. My favorites: Spell Focus: Enchantment - If you focus on that. Bards already pretty much keep up with Sorcerers at low levels, less spells but they get next level spells almost as quick. Spell Focus helps them get the DC up. Er, oh yeah, not as good in 3.5e...

Someone needs to be playing GURPs, methinks.

What is most useful of the cup; what is there or what is not? Petting scorpions with a compassionate hand only gets you stung. The most difficult act in the world is to sit still. Be more concerned with good actions than great ones. Friendship is tested when it is time to share the burden...

If you want a Bard with more battle proficiency try a single level of Barbarian (in 3.0 anyway, which are you playing again?). All martial weapon profs, shield prof (get a mithril one), Rage, and faster movement to aid Spring Attack. Ahhhhh HECK! There was a great book series with a character...

I posted a small rant before, but can't seem to find it any more. In short: the Bard is the number one damage dealer in a party and mid-high levels, and it just gets better with 3.5e. Consider that in the standard party there will be about 4 characters using weapons to fight; Cleric, Fighter...

Well, I was one of the few who got it online for like $5 so no big loss :D I have yet to use it but i'm working on getting a 15th level game together, play Banewarrens then go Epic. I'm also pretty unhappy with the spellsystem, as well as the boring PrC's. It's almost always better to just...

Hmm, i've been looking to get the ball and chain a car anyway. Thanks for the tip!

I'll be buying it, even if it sucks again. 3e PsiHB was pretty good, just needed a little boost to get them up to the other primary-caster level. With arcaners getting the 3.5e kick-in-the-teeth and a few tweaks Psi could become a player again.* *note this excludes cheesy broken tricks. And...

You could try Palladiums RIFTs.

The last $300 or so I spent was on specific figs for campaigns. I tried to buy the figs for every encounter in RttToEE and Tomb of Horrors. Also minis for other PC's. Damn those WotC minis look awful. If you like em, luck to ya. Herocix may not look good (but not BAD) but hey, yer playing...

Good luck finding the pussy p-kitty.
