I didn't know about the binding situation when I began as a bard. Would
that have changed my mind? Probably not initially as I love bards, but I
think I would have given up at level 12 or so and started a caster. Come to
think of it I did, just that I have too many rp'ing friends who get a kick
out of my bardic antics.

true on both counts, we're bards and a bit of everything is in us. we all
knew that and that's why we chose the class. is there anything about the
bard class that you didn't know that hit you later on and is making you want
to switch to another class? that is the option by the way, switching it
another class not asking for things we don't have that other classes do
have. this is a general comment, i know you were not suggesting this John.
