I would say wait to hear what other classes would be, there'd be no harm in a bard, and we can always toss in an NPC. If no one opts for an arcane-favored class then a sorcerer would be nice, but we can probably tweak the game so it's not necessary. Also, there are possible Prestige class paths that would bring out the more arcane side of a bard.<br/><br/>Another note, on Multi-classing and Prestige classes - Iressi frowns on it when people dip in to classes just to min-max, so be aware of that. Prestige classes are<em>usually</em>only permitted when you enter into them with the intention of going through the entire class. However, there are exceptions so feel free to bring such up. We will talk more about prestige classes when entering them becomes more viable and let you know what sources you can look at for those.
