| Ah. Sadly, I have just moved back with my family, albeit temporarity, and have spent the last two months or so under the proverbial rock in terms of seeing any movies, due to not having power at previous home. (For some reason, the power company expects you to pay them.... Kinda hard without a job, but candles work great, I've discovered. And you'd be surprised what you can get from a grocery store that doesn't require cooking or refridgerating...) I guess I'll have to check out that movie- sounds right up my alley! (That tends to be a rather crowded place, since people keep piling all those bards' bodies in it... Darn music haters.) |

It's old  . Just not well-advertised at all. It took word of mouth for me to even hear of it a few years ago. There are multiple movies with similar names---look for the 2002 one (summary here) written/directed by Matt Vancil.
A ballista will punch right through your bards, Ashe. When you're not looking.
What is that, a ranger ability? Hide in Plain Bard? Maybe you should just get barding for your animal companion and call it good.

ROFLMFAO!!! You know, I found a spell in Nymphology that was called "Bardic Hiding". It lets you hide darn near anywhere- even under a lampshade!! So long as you "attempt" to hide, it gives you a huge bonus to your hide check. So... he could just hide under the sheets on the bed. Or, since it was my alley, behind a trash can.
BTW, I had heard of the movie, now that you mention it, but I've not had a chance to see it. |

Isn't that also called "Viking Hiding," with an extra bonus if you're on Hy Brasil?
And so this isn't OT, I do love classes that are good at stealth  . There's something lovely about efficiency and having it while remaining unnoticed. And getting away intact. |

| Bards are effective scouts if they work alone. If someone notices them, they can sing to cloud his mind or cast sleep. Useful. |

| :) Cute, Laer... Nope, just Bardic Hiding. The book had a rather amusing origin for the spell- apperantly it was created by a bard who had a habit of sleeping with ladies he shouldn't. He made it to escape from the notice of irate husbands. Go figure... And yeah, stealth is always a good thing. Let's see... which would I rather play- the big dumb barbarian who is so noisy he wakes up the dragon long before he reaches it? Or the sneaky rogue who can slip in and backstab it and kill it before it ever knows he's there? Hmm.... Decisions, dcisions.... Bravo, Sill. You win a cookie for clever use of class powers! |

Thanks! Yummy! Too bad that bards can't backstab, unless they have some special classes. But trapping the lair of sleeping dragon is also a good option. He wakes and BANG! |

| However in saying that my best character has been a Rogue/Cleric of Loki. Strange combination but its amazing how well it worked. |

I have to go with paladin, but only if the class is played properly. On this same note, I found this to be of real use and sent it to all of my players regarding alignment, since many people seem to have problems with this issue.

| Nice script. But note that thanks to such players we have iconic heroes like Jenkins, though I feel that such characters are closer to chaos than law. I mean, they are acting on impulse, so you could call them chaotic.(Like Minsc) |

| A poll like this based on the 4e classes should be made (or is it?) since the way the classes function is different (plus Warlock would be added as an option). hmmmm.... |

I chose sorcerer, but I can adapt to any 'dedicated' spellcasting class easily (wizards run an extremely close second). I can play anything, but I prefer spellcasters (and psions, when allowed)
I'm currently playing (I get to PLAY!!!) in a campaign where the DM forbid any dedicated spellcasters at all, save one lone cleric (which I got because no one else was insane enough to volunteer for), and only because not having magical healing would slow the campaign to a crawl. At first level, with a paladin and ranger also present, he has informed us we are likely among the most magic-heavy groups around, at least in the immediate region. Needless to say, this is an exceedingly magic-lite campaign.

I can completely agree with this. Our 3.x campaign that lasted 6 years, I was the only spellcaster for years and I was a druid. I was soo thrilled when we got a cleric and a wizard eventually (upper end of the "sweet spot").
