I was very disappointed with the limited choice of bard spells in the game. I like to play spellcasters as if they were a walking grenade launcher - fireball has to be one of my all time favourite spells. So I was a little frustrated to find my bard could really only do summoning and a few defensive and hold/sleep type spells.

I ended up having the bard in the party not really as a spellcaster, it worked OK because at higher levels the choice of bardsongs is good, better to have them singing to buff the whole party than summoning a low level monster will will last for 1 round if it's lucky.
