Don't get me wrong. I agree that the role is anything but boring, especially if you don't have a swashbuckler and a barbarian stealing your spotlight, but the template and power-ups are rather plain. I had a quick look at the Career Guide just now and found some more power-ups in Pyramid 3/61 and those are MUCH more interesting and atmospheric. Still, a separate volume would be much appreciated and your suggestions are spot on. Some more variants for starting templates would also be nice and the knight is one of the characters for whom load-outs matter a lot.

Definitely go with Holy Warriors then! Bards do have a lot of neat stuff already (horribly overpriced, but that can be solved by converting to multiplicative modifiers) and while Holy Warriors do get some atmospheric stuff and extra abilities in DF 7: Clerics, you are right that mechanically they are kinda boring. Maybe tying in something special like a slowly regenerating energy reserve to power some of the abilities might help?

Where are those dastardly 10% non-positive reviewers? I can't see them - they must be hiding in the shadows! Seems like they gained something after all!
