Anyone else noticed that with ToB, SKalds are completely useless compared to Blades because of the ENhanced Bard Song ability??!!!

Anyone disagree with this?

Well, they're not completely useless. :D I always liked the blade better, though.

It is great fun making a party of 6 Bards (2 of each kit) and take them thru SoA/ToB! No power gaming at all, just sheer role playing.

I was glad I did, because when I reached the improved Balthazar and Draconis & Co, they didn't stand a chance. My bards were in the lvl 30s.

Try it and see.

Hmm, I find myself agreeing with KS here. The Enhanced Bard song that they ALL can get really makes the bonuses a skald gives look pathetic. However, they are better at lower levels, getting +1 to hit and damage with all wpns, and the song rocks at low levels.

@BG fan, well, you COULD do that, or go for the NPCs. Or Solo it if you want.
I don't like player made parties, to easy to powergame
