I have never gone solo with any character class. I'm a great fan of bards, as they can manage to do a fair number of things, but they don't excel at anything particularly which is hard if you are soloing. Respect to you El Kalkylus for trying it.

The spell 'Tensers Transformation' will be invaluable later, but as it is a level 6 spell you will have to be level 16 to memorise it. I'd write into your mage book the first scroll of this that you come across, and then store them up like crazy - if you see any on sale, buy every copy you can. Summoning spells are also very useful and as you say, your Jester can use every wand out there, so if you have enough cash get them recharged before they run out. You shouldn't have a cashflow problem as you can pickpocket practically everyone once you have levelled up a few times which should be quite fast with a solo bard.

Good luck!
