Anyone who can make it through the game as a solo Bard has my respect and going solo does make you find some creative tactical ideas, as shown from this thread.
As pointed out a Bard is a bit weak in the AC department, so any magic enhancements are welcome - my solo character made a lot of use of Mirror Image, especially for avoiding trap damage, also Blur is pretty good too. The other common problem for solo characters is being out-numbered by powerful enemies. While summoning a few weak monsters can help, what you really need to do to turn the odds, is to use Charm, Chaos, Confusion, etc so that the bad guys are fighting amongst themselves. If all else fails, then there is usually the option to go invisible and walk right past the problem - after all you hardly need the experience and your inventory is probably full - so why are you fighting them in the first place?
