The Bard has a lot of great equipment! There is Prospero's Cloak, Ariel's Slippers, IIRC there is Prospero's Rapier as well, (but to be honest Bloodlust is probably the best for the bard) and I remember getting a hat that was just for the Bard too. Having a bard helps out in other ways too - they contribute to the effectiveness of sleeping (whole party recovers quicker). I think that the armour and overall usefullness of a Bard tends to make up for the power that a Val. could give you. But, that is just me....
