what to do with my bard? (spoiler) - Page 2

@killerTeddy:

My Monk and RFS-81 both use wrist rockets and medusa stones ( recently upgrading from implaing stones ). They do great. Nothing knocks an opponent out from a distance better than a sling. But a few addendums.

1) I swear bows have better range. I've got both slings and bows in my group and I really can't shake the feeling that bows shoot farther.

2) The sling can go through stones ( which until medusa are 0.5 in weight ) fairly quickly. This really does cause an encumbrance problem. ( Bards are already weighed down by instruments )

Don't worry too much about protecting the bards. You have 2 Dulcimers of mending, a priest and a gadget that does heal all too! My bards have 16/28 protection, that's enough.

That's simple. Plate Mail +3 sounds horrible in my ears, but ebony plate ......

There is no other special reason. It's only my opinion.

Well, i chose Saumrai. Was a mistake, though. I could put on an Infinity Helm, but that was the biggest improvement. I still thought of the character as a bard, but he would never reach 100 in music now... And most annoying, Ferro seemed to have sold the Zatoichi Bo to someone else! I thought these seldom items can always be bought back?
Just finished the game (my first ironman finished [img]smile.gif[/img] ) and chose the "evil" ending

some cool aliens shown there... lot better than the other possibility.

If you sell anything that's not a subquest item (eg Diamond), it'll be sold within 24 hours.
