Regarding IWD/HOW:

1. Does the saving throw bonus against charm type spells for having a high wisdom apply to all claases or just priests?

2. Do the benefits of a Bard outweigh having a fighter in the party instead?

Thankx!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to IW.

1) yes.

2) Opinions vary, but a bard can double as a minor mage or a theif, so their not neccesarily replacing a fighter. And bard song can be useful as well, so in general id say bards are worth taking. (Although having said that ive never actualy used one)

I had a bard in my party when I played IWD/HoW/ToLM recently. Bards are quite useful in IWD/HoW:

1. They serve well as secondary mages.
2. Their bard song ability is quite useful (especially the regenerating one) - only if HoW is installed.
3. There are some nice instruments that a bard can use.
4. They have the highest lore ability amongst all classes. Frees up one or more level 1 slots (no need to memorise identify spell)
