Welcome to the boards, Griefmaker! May your journeys in the Gael Serran bring you new and exciting travels and information [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just played a bard with my last game. The instruments are rather nice, but she's got a downside -- playing those instruments requires stamina, and when she's winded, she's really winded! And since there's no way to raise stamina besides waiting... well, that can be mighty inconvenient, lemmetellya

The bard also gets moon and fiend magic, IIRC, so that's nice.

I haven't really played a ranger except to get fletchery

Unfortunately, ranged combat doesn't play as strongly in W&W as it does in other games (BG, for example). At a distance in the Gael Serran, I just let loose with a little firestorm, and there's no real need for ranged combat, is there?
