[QUOTE="silyolpooh, post: 2674862, member: 30267"] [b]So the bard[/b] Bards are a completely useless class, except in a HIGHLY specialized campaing. There is nothing a bard brings to the table that you would not be better off playing a rogue for. And druids? Seriously, who plays a druid. The idea itself is lame. Why do they keep dragging it along, edition after edition? BTW, I have played a high-level (retired at 39th Lvl) sorcerer. I disliked the limited spell selection and the limiting number of times per day spells can be cast (because thereafter he was useless), but I would definitely not qualify him as underpowered. Nor would anyone else in the party. And for one final word: in a straight fight, a fighter will kick a spellcaster any day, if he can win initiative, and he should be able to do enough damage to take a spellcaster out. Even if not, it is near impossible for a spellcaster to actually spellcast in combat in 3.x because of the concentration and AoO rules. But in a tricksy trap, oh yeah: money's on the spellcaster.
