A bard is pretty good. You just have to use yours in smart ways. He has more hit points than a mage and has about the same number of pre-level 7 spells. Make him the scout, give him some fire resistance, improved invisibity, and send him into a room and have him blast fireballs on top of himself. I learned that from watching d'jinnis and pit fiends. And you will get a spell at level 6, targor's transformation (or something like that) that lets you turn into a super warrior, possibilty the best in the game (for a blade at least). It's not the easiest path, but it can be rewarding.
