Hi there! What is the level of the music skill of your bard? I can't remember if you could still use the music instruments after changing class but if you could, I would advice your bard to have the music skill of 75+ before changing class or she will not be able to use the more powerful music instruments later on.
Since your bard has an INT of 100, she would make a good spellcaster. It is up to you to decide but if I were you, I would switch her to Fighter or Valk since you would need someone to use the cool armors later on in the game

Please make sure that Rapax templar is not hostile towards you. If this is still true, you will need to go to Rapax castle. To get there, you will have to pass through Rapax Rift (a lot of hostile Rapax to kill). Don't worry about them though, once your party has became the member of the templar, all the hostile Rapax will turn to be friendly.
