Blades don't have the full complement of thief skills. They can pickpocket a bit and that's really about it. The amount of skill points they get per level is quite low, as well.
The Bard design is the jack-of-all-trades, incorporating some thievery, some magic and some weapons ability into one character. Seems to me that it's the worst design as all the abilities are watered down, making them a weak team player.
Anybody tried soloing with bards? They're flexible, at least.
