Message: <blockquote data-quote="ARandomGod" data-source="post: 2811268" data-attributes="member: 17296">I picked Barb. Mainly for it's "Can replace the fighter" angle, along with a little wilderness ability.But in general I'd agree with "whatever you want to play". Barb or Ranger for fighting and wilderness skill... a ranger can use cure wands, which is a good additional ability... druid maybe for extra spell casting and not too bad fighting. The only reason I didn't pick that is I don't like the current state of wild-shape and polymorph spells and abilities. I just plain don't like 'em, and I don't think they're well enough balanced and spelled out. I find it odd that so many there have picked bard, I wonder if it's in response to the other bard threads, increasing the overal bardic activity on the boards! Heheh... of course, I also assume that's why this post appeared in the first place.I will go on record additionally as voting "groan" if someone came to the table with a bard and I were one of the PC's. That's just not the kind of support any of my characters ever wants. In combat a waste of space, and out of combat a waste of my time. Of course, that's likely just my experience with bard players. I'm always willing to hope that someone can play it well.</blockquote>
