"First playthrough of Wiz8 - Import or fresh?"
For the first playthrough of Wizardry 8, would you recommend to start new characters from scratch, or would importing a party from CoDS be viable?

In addition, if I do import a party from CoDS, does any character with the music skill (even after it has been lowered from importing) able to play instruments, or do they need to be a bard?

Well if you do an import the game will be a little easier from the start as you will be able to not only import some items (do a search for discussion on importable items) but you will start at level 5.

As for the music skill I don't know the answer to that for sure but my guess is they would have to be a bard but not sure.

CHaracters must indeed import as bards to start with music skill, just as they must import as rangers to have scouting skill. These and other questions are answered in the import section over on Flamestryke's (RIP or In Rutis Pyr, as they say on Guardia) Wizardry 8 site. Just search for "Flamestryke" and it should come right up.

ALL PCs in W8 start at level 5, imported or not.

Uh, no?

All PCs start W8 at level 1, whether imported or not.

Imported characters, however, also have 13,000 xp, allowing them to immediately level up to 5, if they so choose. (Also, they can do so before officially "starting" the campaign, which will affect the monster generators.)

Note: an imported character will start with 13,000 xp even if it had NO xp in CODS: you could start a brand-new party in CODS and immediately import them to W8, and they would all appear with 13,000 xp.
