Not unless you're getting another bard to do this. This bard's AC is going to suck fairly hard. Yep, and at 10th level that's 2 two castings a day after we factor in CharismaĪ feat and 68k on two items, factoring in the headband of charisma we have that's 104k spent on boosting damage, and some bonuses to saving throws. >At least you're going to need Greater Invisibility to do that reliably. Intelligence and wisdom are dump stats, and you only need a minimum (10 or so) of dexterity. You can have a bow as your arcane bond and Bladethirst has some good options for the bow.īe sure to take the Pageant of the Peacock masterpiece so that you can still be the party loremaster.Īrcane Duelist Bard should favor strength and and charisma, then constitution. However, Arcane Duelists make perfectly good ranged bards too.

Otherwise, lack of full attacks is going to suck massively at high levels. If you go Melee Bard, you'll have to invest two traits (Magical Lineage magic trait and Wayang Spellhunter region trait) into Bladed Dash and take the Quicken Spell metamagic feat so that you can cast Quickened Bladed Dash as a 4th level spell to charge enemies as a swift action, leaving you able to full attack them. A fun thing to note about Bladethirst is that the enhancement bonus explicitly stacks with existing bonuses so at level 4 you could use Virtuoso Performance to Bladethirst your weapon twice over for double the buff. Shadow Puppets let you easily summon flanking buddies for the rogue (he will love that shit) and disposable meatwalls on demand and the Arcane Duelist's Bladethirst performance will cover your lack of Inspire Courage. Since you want an interesting and somewhat unusual Bard, go Human with Racial Heritage (Wayang) and be a Shadow Puppeteer / Arcane Duelist. It means better gear, weapons, prices on just about everything.īards can be played half a dozen different ways. You're going to be extremely valuable as a party face so diplomacy ranks are a good thing to consider as well. At minimum try to have at least 1 rank for the class skill bonus. Versatile performance is worth abusing so try to plan ahead for it as 2 ranks in a skill for the cost of 1 is wonderful. You're generally also going to want be a skill monkey Basically it's when you go pure buff/debuff. Theres another variant i've heard of that works on intimidating or causing the shaken status on enemies. You do this to give the other melee some flanking Orcs have some trick to make intimidate be based on str instead of chr so look into that if you want to be an orcish bard Manyshot as your general feats to aim for and so on.

I'm very new to this stuff in general (still using my first D&D character) but there are two or three main routes if you dont find some broken combo.
