On a slightly related note, it'd be fun to see how an exp bonus group and an exp penalty group actually fared over time. People like to say that "well the hybrid penalty isn't bad at all since a SK/pal is a better tank than a warrior so the group is more efficient" or "well a bard brings so much to the table that the 40% penalty is ok" or whatever.
But would a cleric+pal/sk+monk+magi+bard group actually level as fast or faster than a cleric+war+rogue+magi+sham group? Might not be a fair comparison since a sham or chanter is probably a stronger class than a bard even if the bard didn't have an exp penalty.

Except casters have a 10% exp penalty I believe, so if you wanted to have only EXP bonus or neutral classes, wouldn't it have to be only Warriors, Rogues, and priest classes (with no races that have penalties)?
On the Bard, pre-clarity I definitely think a Bard is a huge help for both mana and HP regen. Post-level 29 it's not as helpful since you can just have an Ench with clarity, CC, and great DPS via charming rather than incur the 40% Bard penalty.
