Interesting, Scatter.
But I never had problems with my female Felpurr or Fairie bards. Strengh (45) always was high enough for me, because they stood in the back ( only sling ). I created them with Vitality max 50 ( sometimes after a few levels ). The rest I put into speed and senses. In my magic parties I always was able to cast Stamina or Rest All and even without that she could use her instrument three times.
The music skill was never a problem. I always spend 3 points for that skill and because my bard rarely fights, she uses her instruments very often so even with lower Dex she learned well.
My bard was always meant for highest speed ( Haste, Bless, Heal All ) and she is mostly designed for throwing ( Bombs, Canned Elementals ) .
In my current party without magic users ( 2nd run ) I took a female dracon as a bard ( this time with more strengh and dexterity and higher close combat ability )
So I think it depends on the party or gamestyle of the player what attributes are most needed.
Greetings
