Errol, M Dwarf Bard
During Wizardry 6: The Bard, with his instruments allowing the unlimited use of certain spells, is the real deal in the Dark Savant trilogy. The Lute puts the monsters to sleep without limit, making the first few levels so much easier. The Bard's power increases as he finds other instruments later in the game, as well as increasing her wizardry. He's also the party thief, freeing the Ninja for developing in his assassin role. A Dwarf makes for an odd choice on the surface, but the real point of choosing Elf will not become apparent until Wizardry 8.
During Wizardry 7: Same thing as for Wizardry 6.
During Wizardry 8: A Bard needs as much Stamina as possible to thrive in Wizardry 8, since playing the Bard instruments will always consume Stamina. Increasing both Strength and Vitality lead to more Stamina, both of which are solid stats for the Dwarf. The Dwarf can quickly close in on the Iron Skin after maxing out Vitality, which he has a natural incentive to for being a Bard. And the damage resistance provided by Iron Skin will stack with the Dwarf's racial damage resistance. There's also a Bard-only armor that provides a bonus to Iron Skin, as well as a few Strength-boosting items for Bards. An odd choice, but one that maximizes the Bard's capacity to play his instruments and benefits from the Dwarf's distinct advantages at the same time.
