Nick,

Thanks for the tips there-it helps to be able to understand the pros and cons.

As for bard, well, being able to get the 5000 xp or so extra in Easthaven, plus songs, magic, and pick pockets is well worth it, IMO. That, and if you give him 15 str or greater and a composite bow he's a beautiful archer for the early game.

Some of my best fun in the first part of IWD has been with parties like this, with 6 characters with bows mowing down all the orcs before they can melee (and the four-five orges in the cave...I play insane).

So once I get the game up and running again (re. Unexplained Deletions thread) I'm trying this build.
