Make sure you have the appropriate firewall rules on your OPT2 interface to allow traffic to pass.
Also, you mentioned "I don't have a DHCP server on my local LAN, instead I configured the built-in pfSense DHCP server with three IP addresses to give out". Does that mean you have some static DHCP assignments set but not a general DHCP range open? One more thing, when bridging a wireless interface to a wired one, make sure the wired interface has a physical ethernet link to something. I've seen it interfere with bridging many times.
