In the game, Bards primarily cast mage spells and there are several Bard/Mage-only items. It seems that, if anything, Bards should be a subclass of Mages. The only similarity between Bards and Thieves is their pickpockets ability

Good questions.

In IWD/HoW, **MY** Bard spends 98% of her time singing. And the songs she sings have almost exclusively Cleric-like properties.

I wonder if Lore ability is considered Rogue-like?

Looks like the Bard was truly crafted to be a jack of all trades.
