Making a Bard
 

I decided to try p1999 again, and I wanted to try something other than a rogue (sitting LFG for hrs is boring). So I've decided on a bard, what race/stats should I choose?

Halfelf
Stamnia

Whichever race you prefer, and all points into STA.

woody, plate armor look good.

Wood elves are the worst. They literally look like they have a giant ballsack on their back.

Lol, i need to see some woodelf plate now, i wasn't aware of this.

Edit: Just checked it out, it looks like a girl sitting naked from behind to me.

Human/STA

Looks of any starting race is made irrelevant; from level 15+ you have the option to always looks like the objectively best race in plate, which is dark elf. That also solves any vision problem as well. Humans are the only bard race capable of high end min max items like robes and Trakanon shoulders, if that is your long term concern.

Humans are the best bard race. My logic is undeniable.

Play what makes you happy. Race and starting stats probably make barely that big of a difference at 60 in Kunark gear.

I'm sure we can get neckbeards in here to provide math but do what will keep you happy playing til 60

Dark Elf Bard.

Half Elf Female Bards are hot. Put stats in Strength. Need it to wear gear.
