[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2285608, member: 22622"] You hit the nail on thehead Pierno. The bard is not going to be a starter, he's not going to be the BEST at anything. But what he is is a great bench player. He'll be your best sixth man. If the rogue is down, he''ll look for traps, if the sorceror's fried, he'll spit out a spell, if the cleric is dead he has the healing covered. PLus add his inspire courages, hastes his bardic knowledge (which is more than a puzzle solver if your DM does it right) and he's invaluable. Bardic Knowlecge is an amazing skill and very unique. Anywhere you go that bard get's that bardic knowledge roll. IF he rolls high he might be able to tell you about the type of traps, monsters, and history of the place as well as what he's heard about villians in it. I doubt a townsage would do that... heck if its my campaign the town sage 9 times out of 10 is in cohoots with whatever evil is going down. [/QUOTE]
