My current party

1. Human Bard(4)
2. Drow Elf - Ranger(1) Druid(2)
3. Wood Elf - Ranger(1) Druid(3)
4. Strongheart Halfling - Monk of the Old Order(1) Rogue (3)
5. Shield dwarf - Fighter (4)
6. Half-Elf - Cleric of Tempos (4)

I am trying to find out if Bards are any good, so far I am impressed as the first song as drasticly improved my parties abilities in battle and it as been easy cake walk so far compared to my first time. Can't wait until level 11. I have not had a character with many points in bluff yet until now, and this leader is a real smooth talker. Also I am testing the Ranger (1) Druid (x) to see how good they are. Again I am impressed but I chose racial enimies as orcs & Goblins which is what I have been facing so far. Later I am hoping they will be more offensive with spells and ranged combat. Do you think 3 levels of Rogue is enough? (ie. Rogue(3)Monk (x)) I am thinking to just build on the Monk from here on. The only problem I can see is that non-clerical magic could be a problem later as it is not bards strong point.

Comments????
