I hate changing armor in batter, so I'm wondering how do people handle armoring a spell casting bard? Should I assume just an armor spell? AC6 isn't bad, and it lasts a day. What do you all say?

My Blade Bard wears the Melodic Chain and is still able to cast spells.

yeah, rub it in...

don't answer this, I'm just commenting (as I haven't gotten that far yet), but I thought you'd have to wait until underdark to get melodic chain?

Melodic Chain rules! Right now my Bard is my primary spell caster so I need him to cast spells. If I didn't have melodic chain I would go get it. IMMEDIATELY.

If a bard is your primary spell caster, maybe you have problems other than what he's gonna wear

Bard as primary spell caster? Maybe for BG1, but definitely not for BG2...I was thinking of playing one as a support mage/archer, but now I changed my mind, I think I'll stick with my human dualed cleric(12)->mage...now -that's- what I call a spell caster.

I like bards, but they are better in the role of support spellcaster - the max spell level in BGII (incl. TOB) is level 6, so you miss out on some important high-level spells.

Armouring bards is not too difficult - head to the Adventurer's Mart, and pick yourself out a nice pair of bracers - there are 2 available, AC3 and AC4. You can then sell them when you get the melodic chain later in the game.
