Excuse me, I'm misunderstood. About spells, I meant that bard's spell may cause more damage because he's advanced more level. For example, Cilgin Co is a 30th level bard and he's got 4,500,000 xp. And there's a mage known as Aksakalli diDe, he's also has 4,500,000 xp. So, Co is 30th level but DidE is 22th level. They both cast lower resistance. Aksakalli dede lowers his opponent's resistance by 32 (10+level=32) but Cilgin Co casts this spell as a 30th level spellcaster and he lowers it by 40. When they both summon a monster III, DiDe's monsters will last for 26 rounds, Ciligin Coe's are 34. I just noticed out fast level advancemen of bard's can cause something like that. But they gain spells slower than mages you're right.

In 3rd edition, bards have completely different spells. They can cast magic missile I hope Black Isle will use these rules in their new games.
