[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7841762, member: 6802951"] That doesn't really answer any of the questions I asked. You have already said that the bard wasn't generally up in melee swinging a sword. What I was asking was how well the bard performed as a contributor to the party's success in combat. Because of their support, was the party as effective as the same party with just an extra fighter or other front-liner wold have been, or could the bard's general contribution to whether the party wins a fight be replicated by a couple of bedrolls in a fancy waistcoat? And further to that question, do you think that a more engaged bard might have contributed more, or is this an issue with the bard class in general? Precisely. The bard might not have personally done as much damage as the wizard, or killed as many giants as the fighter, but I've generally found that having a bard in the team means the party as a whole can survive and be victorious in combats that would have defeated a party without them.
