[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2665444, member: 29014"] I disagree--it's all about effectiveness within one's limited number of actions. The Bard has a lot of subpar stuff, so his actions become questionably worthwhile. Summon a monster? Why bother when your summoned creature is so puny compared to the enemies and the other casters' summons. And sure, mirror image helps with defense, but the cleric starts out ahead on that anyway, and the bard's best defense is the fact that they are often the last target due to overall uselessness. A round spent making images is a round not spent helping out. A Rogue, on the other hand, can easily make good use of her actions with the simple strategy of keeping in a good position for sneak attacks and dishing out the damage of attacks. Furthermore, Rogue synergises very well with other classes like Fighter, Ranger, or Barbarian for mixing around, while Bard does not so much. [/QUOTE]
