Are you still in your first 30 days? Those stats worry me a bit.

I'd move a little STR, and a little more from DEX and AGI, into WIS. Spirit TD is your Achilles' heel, as a bard.

I'm assuming you're only level 1? Anyway, a few things worry me.

You have 4 ranks of PF, which means that the maximum you can train a 2x'able skill is at least 4 ranks, but you only have 2 ranks of OHE and 1 rank of CM. You're swinging an OHE as your primary method of combat, so you want to max out OHE skill, and keep CM at 1x.

You don't need to train so much PF. I know it gives you HP right now, but I'd keep it at 1x and get all the AS you possibly can for now.

I'd look to have something like this:

2x OHE
1x Armor
1x Shield
1x CM
.75x Dodging
1x PF
.99x Harness (keep the number of Harness Power ranks equal to your ACTUAL level)
1x Spells
1x Lores
1x Perception

Additional points can be tossed into tertiary skills as desired (scrolls, miu, skinning if you really want it, etc.)

You do NOT need spell aiming. Ever. For any reason. It's a waste of points for a bard unless you're doing something absolutely freakishly mutant.

You don't need AS/MIU right out of the gate, especially not if you aren't full up on your core skills yet.

1 rank of Climbing is good for now. You should also get 1 rank of Swimming since there are some places where you need just that one rank to make checks that require the verb, but don't really care how much skill you actually have.

What is it you want to do with this bard? Give us some idea of the direction you want to go in, and we can give more specific advice.

Move all your stats into strength, logic, and intel. Grab the biggest two-hander weapon/polearm you can find and run the rat script found in 0-10 hunting scripts. When you're 11, run fletching script for experience till you're 14-15. Now reallocate your stats to whatever.

If you're NOT in your first 30 days, just reroll and do the stuff above.

Regarding stuff like climbing/swimming, don't bother with it. Dump it in when the area you hunt requires it.

What does INT have to do with anything? It no longer plays a role in experience absorption.

[Netam]

Oh fuck int then. Dump that shit in agil for shitty defense.

[AMUSED1]

DIS plays a very minor role in experience absorption, though. But not enough to be worth putting it super high. Just keep LOG super high and you'll be good to go.
