Does that mean that the Bard class is destined to never be Alpha in combat? Maybe my premise is wrong. I'm still waiting to hear evidence that it is.
Why should the bard be Alpha in combat? They're alpha in social situations.
That's ok. I don't want my bard, or my rogue, to be the equal of the fighter in a fight. That's his schtick. Why would I take it away? These classes have plenty of effectiveness in combat, so it's not boring for them. They shine in social, so that's good.
I don't see a problem with having second tier combat classes. Support is fun too.
