Bards are totally broken and powerfull in IWD... the war chant ot Seth is way cooler than a cleric could be cuz it works during battle to regenerat 2 hp per round for everyone... and then after battle, you can sit and wait.. saving cleric spells for critical hits and tough battles... the bard's 4th song is essentially a continuous Hold person spell that hits every round and holds creatures for a turn. i once held 6 or 7 yaun-ti in dragon's eye as they poured out at me (HOW has smarter monster AI).. the fear song is great too, it removes fear conditions... so there's 3 things a cleric can do with the properly memorized number of spells, but a bard can just do. Plus, bards get all mage spells up to level 7. i just got Tenser's transformation for my 14th level bard, she doubles as a fighter (spear or crossbow) for big fights
