I know it would be extremely difficult to translate a PP game to be a MMORPG, but this seems like Bard's might be getting the short end of the stick in terms of play styles. Jack-of-all-trades forced to specialize in a certain area... But that's only my opinion.
Well isn't that the same with normal PnP? If a NPC beats you at diplomacy, it's still upto you how to react on that....that's called role-playing. Some people are good at it, others suck. We just hope there are a lot of good role-players playing D&D Online, so the power-gamers don't spoil the fun.
On Argyle for instance, when you met a new PC, you both rolled charisma checks and then acted on their results...
