It takes several minutes to change, not exactly convenient given most combats don't give minutes to prepare. None of the other classes have to carry two suits of armor around! Yes, we’ve established that I can use spells to improve my effectiveness, so can a (in alphabetical order) cleric, druid, paladin, ranger, sorcerer, and wizard. Often to far greater effect.As for the cure spell thing, can someone please tell me WHY bards have Cure spells? What legendary bard could also Cure Serious Wounds? Anyone? Anyone? It certainly seems out of character. Oh, wait, I know why. It’s because the designers know that BARDS SUCK and they give them a little stick, a little bone there to make us feel better. Having said that, I have started using cure spells in my high level campaign. They help. A jester casting a cure spell sure seems weird though.</blockquote>Huh? Two suits of armor?Dude, CHOOSE a role, and the bard can fill it without much trouble. If you want a Bard in the front lines, don a Mithril Breastplate and wield that rapier with Weapon Finesse. The +5 AC from the breastplate, coupled with your decent Dex, protects you a lot, and lets you assist the Fighter and the Rogue on the front line.If, OTOH, you want a stealthy guy, you do an armor with 0 Armor Check Penalty and sneak about as well as a rogue (with the added benefit of having spells like Invisibility in your repertoire).[/QUOTE]
