> If you think something is overpowered,
I didn't say bards were overpowered, I said that with their ability to rank/tank/do damage/support, I beleive their xp penalty should be higher.
>(or cranials),
I will give you trip or bash (but for some reason, when I was fighting the phantom, it was impossible to redirect...enter fire and ice for ANNIHILATES) but hate to break it to you. If my cranial ever lagged someone..I never noticed it. I sparred with many a friend with the express purpose of checking to see if that wives tale was true...and not once did cranial lag the person I fought. Now I beleive, because there are giant mace specs that swear by it, that it is a str based, and a humans 23 str may not be enough, but I perfected cranial the rank I got it, and didn't lag anything even once in some 300 hours of gameplay using it.

Never said they were impossible and overpowered. YOU said I said that. and no, I will not play a bard...I try my damndest not to bandwagon (only drow inducted by ghim, first druid of Nep, pacifist ranger, elf not storm paladin, assassin with a penchant for being a dumbass, human neutral warrior) Bards are sickeningly popular right now...= I won't play one.
