The bard has been instrumental in finding out the stories behind various unusual things (the landscape is littered with megaliths and remnants of an ancient dragon civilization).He has a crossbow with +1 undead bane quarrels... which were handy agaisnt, dum dum duuum. Undead. ZOT.Countersong neutralized vrock screams and gibbering from gibbering mouthers. His inspirations were very helpful in bolstering his allies.And on top of all of it, his magic was handy. Haste is limited, yes... but it affects multiple people! Colin, the bard, cast it on the entire party before battle. See invisibility to look for invisible opponents (this time there weren't.)The group found a bard mighty handy.I think I may try a bard the next time I create a character. I generally like social characters but don't want to be penalized for that choice by lack of support in the game. I think bards in 3.5 are finally viable enough in a variety of situations.</blockquote>
