I never played a bard before, so i didn't exactly know how it would turn out, but after finishing baldurs gate 2 and starting throne of bhaal, i can say it is a class well worth considering.
I'm playing a human skald, have an AC of -10 and am still able to use spells, when i start playing my enhanced bard song i have an AC of -20!!.
For some reason i still have the sword i got from Greed in hell, it's name currently slips me mind, and Gesens bow, enhanced elven chain, and were i using the staff of the magi and ring of gaxx, i could even bring my AC down to maybe -12/-14 !! (with song -22/-24 !!) ,if only my mage wouldn't have such a crappy AC, ...ah well
plus being able to use any item and identifying everything there is to find.....
Like they say in the kit description, a great overall character, Jack-of-all-trades ('cept maybe on the clerical side)
don't go dismissing bards ahead like i always did
