Bards are good but lets face it, still only 5th or 6th place on a party make up, you cant take a hit to save your life, your not really a tank or can ever be, and people kind of expect you to always do the same thing, which is inspire, 9 times out of 10, my Thundercaller is inspiring people and not really attacking unless told to or we are getting smacked around too much..( or she is threatened by something ) they are really supposed to be the face of most parties. its what they are made for and most their spells are support, so I see nothing wrong with giving them really good knowledges...You got to look at things from other perspectives and not just off of a ability you know? not being rude but I like seeing both sides, well all sides to everything..lol think of all the stuff a bard may get into, something that has Sonic based attacks, countersong a few rounds till the party deals with it, everything has a bardic performance cost.
