Blade BG2
Blade is a BG2 Best Class in BioWare's cRPG of 2000, Baldur's Gate 2. The Blade is the best Bard in BG2.
Such dual-wielding dervishes are capable of 9 ApR BG2 thanks to Scarlet Ninja-To on-hand, Belm off-hand and Offensive Spin that erroneously stacks with Improved Haste.
Blades also sport lordly Armor Class BG2 through Defensive Spin which is erroneously mobilized by Free Action status.
The above "errors" were fixed by BG2 Fixpack.
The Blade is an expert fighter and adventurer whose bardic acting abilities make him appear more intimidating and fearsome. His fighting style is flashy and entertaining, but is also quite deadly.
