Actually, my solo with a Skald was one of my easiest solos ever. Ever seen what a whole mob of spiders backed with Skald song and webbing will do? Or what an army of Skeleton Warriors backed with Skald song will do? Did you know that with but an Earth Elemental and Skald song, you can wipe out entire cities? Skald song turns summons into a fierce army of horrible monsters on steroids. My Skald actually stopped carrying weapons because he looked cooler walking around with his hands empty. That, and he had no need what so ever of any sort of weapon. His voice WAS the weapon. By the time he hit his 20s, and, his song provided immunity to fear, stun, effects like that, and, provided a massive boost to AC and THAC0, he STEAMROLLED right through anything in his path scarcely even slowing down long enough to pick up treasure. It was late at night one night when I was playing and I actually fell asleep in the keyboard while invading the Elven City. I was only out for a short time, but, my invisible Skald singing in the corner was just fine and his massive friend, Ernie the Earth Elemental had just demolished a whole mass of golems.
People are sorely mistaken when they think that a Bard, any Bard, is a weak class or kit. Even the Jester is amazingly powerful if used correctly.
