News Flash: Bards SUCK in BG1. Yep, if you want to cast spells, your Bard's gotta be buck naked, or at least pretend that your Bracers of Defense will ward off those Black Talon Elites.

That's why those who use Bards try to go for quasi-combat spells: Have Garrick cast Stinking Cloud and Web from out of the enemy's sight range, then cast Mirror Image, slap his armor back on and charge in. Takes a lot longer than just having your Tank do everything, but at least his spellslots don't go to waste.
