Just watching the other players succeed because of something you've done, can be fun. I do that all the time... its called GMing.If you want to play a blaster, you play a wizard or a sorcerer. If you want to play a tank, you play a fighter, paladin or barbarian. If you want to play a scout, you play a ranger, monk, rogue or bard. If you want to play a diplomat, play a bard, rogue, paladin or cleric.Do you play a blaster cleric? Do you play a melee wizard?Bards are not necessarily for all kinds of game styles. Do you play a Paladin in an Evil Campaign? Do you think that a barbarian or a fighter is somewhat sub-par for a campaign of political intrigue? The bard requires a certain playing style to be maximized. I've heard tell that the bard archer is pretty darned good bec. of his buff spells. A bard can use wands or scrolls of fireball or magic missile to compensate for his lack of blaster ability. Besides, not all of us want to be specialized in something. The bard allows for a generalist class, akin to a rogue that can literally DO everything. When you're a bard, you don't really need anyone else.You don't need a fighter (you can just turn invisible and run away or negotiate/charm the enemy). You don't need a healer. You don't need a scout.</blockquote>
