Bards are the best class for the Baldur's Gate series bar none. Simply because since you are constantly changing your party, they are the most adaptable and IMO the most intersting. The fact they level up faster than anybody helps a TON. When they need to be fighters, they can be fighters, when you need a mage they can fit the bill. They will never be the best character at any one thing but they are so useful its really almost an unfair class. I have my skald currently in the back with a bow and casting spells but I have had him in front with a 2 handed sword and other times, playing mop up man when I was loaded with "tanks". His identify ability is great, his song is VERY useful and his ability to use the harp O' dischord makes up for his lack of jester song. His versatility is his greatest strength and considering I once had a party of Jaheira, Nalia, Yoshimo, Aerie, Minsc and my skald, it was great to have a good fighter character in my bard and later when I dropped Aerie for Keldorn, I had a great support guy who could use spells and a bow.
