In PnP rules, Bards also had the ability to climb walls, read languages, ect.

This opens up some possibilities, though not really in this game. They really have no option to be used.

And yes, without spell casting, Bards would be a very nerfed class. They would be inprofficient (sp?) in everything they do, and would be a very little played.

A PnP bard would be a great addition.

Oh, and about the "Lyre of Proggression", That was from IceWind Dale, wasn't it?

Yes. Rogue Rebalancing, among other things, adds a store that includes new (and borrowed from other games) items for Bards and Thieves (and, to a small extent, Druids), and also reintroduces some BG1 items that weren't carried over into BG2, such as the Dagger of Venom.

Ahh... the Dagger of Venom... good times.
