Nothing a bard can do is comparable to what a spellcaster of an equivalent level can do and she wouldn't be able to attack at all. In melee she doesn't do nearly as much damage as anyone else and her hit points are lower (although that might be a function of her stats more than her class).īut if I put her in the back row she'd be even worse.

"The Seeker's Ballad," for instance, produces light in dungeons and makes foes easier to hit "Falkentyne's Fury" increases the damage you do in combat. And the class isn't just a name: bards can sing helpful bard songs in battles and use certain musical magic items. Bards appear for the first time in a CRPG (unless you count the "lark" in Ultima III).Hunters do critical hits at higher levels, and monks (as in D&D) are skilled in unarmed and unarmored combat. Here for the first time are half-orcs, paladins, hunters, monks, and four different mage classes-two of which you have to transition to after you've gained some experience.
