I'm playing through the game for my first time now, although I've played both Baldur's Gate games and Icewind Dale before. I'm playing as a half-elf fighter/bard. It's a lot of fun. I'm at level 4/4 right now. I haven't really put points into or made use of the bard's rogue skills yet, but Tomi is my henchman, so I don't really need them. However, being a fighter and having access to things like the Bard Song, mage armor, resistance, etc is very very useful. And because most of the spells the bard can cast are defensive in nature and usually cast before battle anyway, i can always just remove my armor to avoid the 45% spell failure chance that comes with a set of full plate
