Pathfinder's archetypes are really a wonderful way of tweaking and adapting classes.I love to have some magic and a lot if skills, especially with a performance and social focus. The PF bard also has enough combat ability to get a lot of traction out of PF:s combat manouvers, especially when you don't need to feel the pressure to be a top damage dealer, but can go for what is fun --- and it is quite fun to see how much a mess you can make of the enemy lines once you have invested in enough Trip feats... Pathfinder has a bunch of goodies there, both Versatile Performance, which do help the bard become quite the proverbial skill monkey, as well as keeping up the performance aspect,  as well as the combat maneuver system, which keeps the fights from being boring slugfests.For flavor, I do love the flashy performer/artist bard greatly over the celtic combat skald.Least Favourite:Fighter. Hate single-minded dedication to maximized damage. I find it both boring and leading to performance anxiety - something I play escapist fantasy RPGs to get away from. Never liked the Striker and Defender roles in 4E for the same reason, and the 3E and PF fighter are both those rolled into one.</blockquote>
