PRO's
-Damage is easy to come by with a nice mighty bow
-naked AC is high
-has some melee staying power in a pinch

CON's
-no self-concealment or hips for survivability
-better for group oriented play
-low bab for less attacks

you can probably re-arrange the feats a bit, I wasnt really trying to create an uberbuild when i was making it

Looks good and powerful though.
What is the AC? BAB? Have you considered taking the last two RDD levels in epic (replace with AA) for an extra attack and better ab? the naked ac is 27

never even crossed my mind to take more AA levels before epic lol

as is the bab is 34 at lvl 40

some Crow lady in some song Why not delay almost all the rdd levels until post epic, if you did an 8/4/8 bard/rdd/AA split you would have a base attack bonus of 17 at level 20 which isnt too bad.


*edit* This would probly mean an almost total reworking of the post epic feats though.

I was pretty sloppy on feat selection anyway

I'll rework it when I get a chance and post the revision

the characters final ab was

46/41/36 with a non-magical longbow

and

34/29/24 with a non-magical shortsword

the base attack bonus was only 25, it was displayed 34 on the character selection screen, no idea why...
