    Ya pretty much. Blade is 100x more powerful than any other other Bard's yes, but F/M beats him. Heh if you'de like to argue that ill take ya on anytime.

    Come to think of it, since you have sola mod blade is even easier to use. Auto buff, defensive spin, then charge into the room, wears off, offensive spin, dead.

    There's nothing much to argue, since the Blade is all about craftiness and the F/M/T is about raw power.
    Maybe later, when there's need. ;)

    Anyways, don't forget that the Sola Mod has some heavenly items associated with it - like Sola's wonderful +5 Moonblade. Very useful to the Blade, especially in the eclipse fight.

    I played this mod once but forgot what the hell the moonblade does exactly, and since playing Sola mod is a long way down my things-to-do list it will be a long time before I play it again, is there anyone that know's what it does?

    Edit: I don't think the Blade should use the Rouge XP table since he's not exactly a thief and in the hands of SP's local Blade Master (that was a compliment btw not an insult :) ) is much better than any fighter could hope to be and only needs to cast 3 or 4 spells to be immune to most Mages

    As far as Sola's moonblade goes, you get it only if you direct Sola down a certain path in the moral questions he asks you (might be a spoiler to be more specific). After a certain point he'll ask to be outside at night in a 'forest' type area, and it will be granted to him from his goddess. Actually, when you first get it its +4 not +5, that happens after a certain xp point. Here's its stats-

    STATISTICS:
    Equipped Abilities: Free Action, Luck, +2 AC Bonus, +1 attack per round
    Combat Ability: Each hit has a 25% chance blinding the victim with lunar radiance and inflicting 12 points of fire damage over the course of 3 seconds.
    THACO: +4 bonus
    Damage: 1D8 +4
    Damage type: slashing
    Weight: 3
    Speed Factor: 0
    Proficiency Type: Long Sword
    Type: 1-handed
    Usable By: Solaufein~

    When it upgrades it gains +5 as well as:
    Armor of Faith, Draw Upon Holy Might, Death Ward, Chaotic Commands

    @Casey
    Actually, the fact that he uses the Rogue's XP table is one of his strongest strengths. ;)
    For example, now that I remember why I always bring Sola along whenever I play a Blade, consider what a level 40 Armour of Faith or Draw Upon Holy Might means...

    Damn. I was there, but I didn't go in the forest because I thought he was trying to sleep with my Neutral Good Male character whom I didn't intend to be gay.
