[QUOTE="Fishbone, post: 6362481, member: 40849"] The thing this doesn't take into account is that Bards are awesome with Enchantments and Illusions and you can spec them out to be even better with them to the point where you're almost as good as a Wizard, Sorcerer or Warlock going for that stuff. Possibly even better, I haven't made enough characters nor have we seen enough of these guys in action to know for sure. So while the Fighter might have to deal 80+ HP damage to something, even to CR 2 and 3 monsters, you can drop a Wisdom targeting spell as a Bard and maybe mash the I Win button. That sure beats all the Cure Whatever Wounds stuff you've got the Bard preparing. If you can just shut down a meathead monster (lots are even -1 to Wisdom saves, ouch) that is worth a ton of damaging and healing. As more feats and healing magical items show up, the Bard will have a lot more liberty to mash the Enchantment and Illusion "I Win" button. [/QUOTE]
