[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 4751, member: 527"] You dont have a Fighter, a Psi-Warrior or a Barbarian? I dont think you can count on the Monk to deal out damage, I put Monks in the same league as Bards or Rogues - support characters. They arent built to go toe-to-toe with big, angry creatures. Anyway, the Bard. Our party is 3rd-4th level, the Bard has just become hugely useful by grabbing a handful of Cure Light Wounds spells to back up the Cleric. Before this, he contributed mostly with Daze and with a bow with the Precise Shot (shoot into melee) feat. Looking at this gives you a good idea what kind of character is all about. He doesnt do heavy lifting like chopping up Goblins with a great axe or mowing down Orcs with Sleep. He sings a song which gives us all +1. Then he stuns the most dangerous foe a couple times. Then he breaks out the bow and contribitues a random d6 of damage every third round. Thats a lot of different, useful talents. But he's just supporting the real carnage; a party of 4 Bards would all to quickly end up in the Kobold Cook Pot. [/QUOTE]
