I'm creating a bard for a campaign. He's a sort of carefree drifter-dude...(note to self: make character who uses surfer-talk one day)...and I'm not sure whether to use bardic knack or bardic knowledge for him. The DM says that's up to me (Many people in my game group are just as indecisive as I am, which makes character creation hard.)
On one had, I can see him knowing a whole mess about a whole lotta stuff from his travels -- it probably helped him get by.
On the other hand, I can say the same thing about him being skill-monkey supreme. Right now I have some skillpoints in cross-class skills that feel right for him to know that it'd be nice to have freed up.
My issue with bardic knack is the slowness of the advancement...it goes up every 2 levels, with bardic knowledge every level and with my intelligence modifier.
My issue with bardic knowledge is that if I had bardic knack, I would be able to free up some skill points and I could spend them on more knowledges.
The campain is starting at level 1, and the other party members are a beguiler, a swashbuckler, a druid, and a cleric who's eventually going to multiclass into sorceror.
Any opinions on the matter?
