Hi Zoltan,
The only question about Blade vs. Skald is: do you have, or are you going to get, ToB? If yes: go with the Blade. If no: go with the Skald.
At high (ToB) levels, you'll get a chance to upgrade your Blade's song to one which surpasses a Skald's song.
In the mean time, offensive spin rocks!
Here's my current Bard party:
Me = Tale (Blade)
Jaheira
Minsc
Yoshimo
The party stands like so:
J
Y M
T
in battle, and like so:
T
J
Y
M
while walking around.
Jah is my tank: her AC is -7, but then a bonus -3 or better for all kinds of damage (literally: -3 slashing, -4 crushing, -4 piercing, -3 missile). Minsc and Yoshimo wield bows in combat, and I sing or shoot arrows or cast spells.
I'd really like to try a party just like this one, but with me as an Archer, and Haer'Dalis as the bard. I suspect that this party would be absolutely killer.
