    Has anyone ever tried using all three classes of bards at the same time in the solo-multiplayer mode? Think about it... A jester confusing enemies, with the skald boosting the power of the blade, during his offensive spin!! Might be interesting...

    Hehe, the merry band of adventurers, sounds fun. You could make one Good, on Neutral and one Evil. The Skald would probably be good the blade neutral and the jester EVIL :evil:!

    Oi Oi, rather interesting idea indeed. However, i could not stand being around ONE bard, let alone three! Triple the annoyance factor there. They are always singing, talking about god knows what. Sure they know alot, but never shut the heck up. So in conclusion, "no" i have not tried this and never will. However, if you are unlike me and like bards... go for it and keep us updated.

    I tryed it about a week ago but I didn't like it. I had just gotten to chapter 3 when I gave up on the idea.

    Nice idea, but I always try to play balanced party (fighter, mage, archer, thief or similar). And i always look on the bard as support char. and not like solo (i tried soloing, but didn't like it like other solo classes).

    But it sure would be interesting near them, especially if one would be good, other neutral and evil!

    Not really on topic, but what would happen if you had two skalds singing thier bard songs at the same time? Would the bonuses they give to the party be cumulative?

    They would, Vukodlak.

    That creates a different topic. Play with five Skalds and a Blade, and you're guaranteed to rip things up. With five skald songs stacked, the Blade will be buffed to high heaven. Better with 5 Skalds/1 Fighter(Kensai), but this is good if you are playing All-Bards.
