I like my Blade, Diermot. He can cast Haste upon himself, Draw Upon Holy Might using his Bhaal-powers, go into offensive spin, and dual-wield twin longswords in the heat of battle. With the Melodic Chain allowing him to cast spells, for that brief 24 seconds he is a blur of dynamic energy, cutting a swathe through lesser creatures and striking at larger foes and darting back before they can even hit him. I haven't tried any of the other Bard types yet, but I imagine none of them can come close to that level of combat potency.
