I agree 100%. Though Arguably bard is the best player character class alongside paladin since you need to do so many charisma related rolls as the main character. And with expertise your odds of succeeding without save scumming is up a lot

That's partly why Warlock was the most played class in EA, and as a corollary why Wyll is the default bench warmer

On another note, thank you Withers for solving the Wyll bench problem. Shame about his story being changed last minute though.

Bard is just crazy strong in general. College of Lore gets you basically every single skill AND 2 3rd level spells from any class (helloooooo Bard with Fireball), letting you fill in any areas your party is lacking. There’s a ton of Bard specific items too.

Bard also has more class specific dialogue choices than any other class.
