Right been toying with a new build, had a look on the search engine and found only this with similar level combinations:

Undead Fencer (Bard 5/PM 16/WM 19) by kreestopearq

It goes for a focus on Longsword as Elf, however I wanted to get 4 attacks a round so have to be human.

I initially designed this build as PvP...getting really annoyed with those Dev. Crits so wanted a Pale Master...but with everyone's high AC I also need something with a high attack bonus...so decided upon a fair number of WM levels! Could probably do with a bit of improving so comments please. I'm sure it fairs well PvM as well though...

Ok now here we go:
playable from 1 - 40 PvP

Starting Stats (finishing stats):

Heal 43(42)
Intimidate 4(6)
Perform 16(18)
Spellcraft 43(45)
Taunt 43(45)

This leaves a massive 4 skill points to be assigned! If this is going to be played PvM I suggest transferring points from either Heal or Taunt to UMD! Depends how available Healers Kits are!

Saving Throws:

Fortitude 18
Will 21
Reflex 25

Hitpoints: 334 (max not as many as i'd like but weapons masters are soooo demmanding on feats/stats!)

Attacks:

BAB 26 + 1 weapon focus + 10 str, + 2 epic weapon focus, +1 epic prowess, +4 weapons master:

44/39/34/29

AC naked: 25 (can only use chain/breastplate)

Possible suggestions to improve could be to get rid of power attack/cleave/great cleave/overwhelming crit and take knockdown/imp. knockdown/toughness/armour skin.

I think that's about it...

Nice build. I have an old, yet similar build I've never posted. Mine is Bard 8/PM 16/WM 16 (wanted to get Epic Warding) with Weapon Focus: Scimitar. Yours is a better combatant of course, due to more WM levels. My ending stats were:

AC 31 HP 406 BA 23
AB: 37/32/27
Fort Save 21
Reflex Save 22
Will Save 21
Skills: Max: UMD, Tumble, Spellcraft, Concentration, Discipline, + 20 points spare

In looking at your build, you could push your first two PM levels to Epic since they bork your AB. I think going Bard 12/WM 8 would give you the best possible AB.

What about moving 4 points from Dex to Con, and relying on UMD and Cat's Grace to get your Dex bonus in Chain armor? That would give you another 80 HP.

And what about ditching the Great Cleave & Overwhelming Crit route? Take Knockdown and IKD, and Toughness?

Just some thoughts. Cool build though!

Kaliban.

Yeah I want to remedy the low Con, however u need Dex 13 for the Weapon master feats so most could scrounge would be one point.

Thanks though Epic Warding would be very nice indeed! Can easily dispose of Gt Cleave/Overwhelming Crit, gonna head back to my builder & see what improvements I can come up with

Doh, missed that! How about starting:
Str 16
Dex 12 (+1 at level 4)
Con 14
Wis 8
Int 14
Cha 12

If you're going to lose some Bard levels you may be able to drop Charisma, ja?

You'd end up with two more bard levels total, and then you'd have to give up 2 WM levels (I assume 10 PM is a must), so the final AB would be the same and you'd miss out on one WM bonus feat.

And your build would end up bard 14/PM10/WM16. Same AB, but more bard spells and song, plus better song. Would probably be a bit stronger, if you can do without that feat, and get immune to crit two levels later.
