Mr. Goodstuff:
Basically, He's above average in all major areas; AB, AC, HP's, & Saves.
Add to that all those Pale Master Immunities, and you have a Fun, Versatile little build, IMO.
It is also possible to build with an elf, with some minor changes.
No Devestating Critical here, however, he can be used on almost any PW.
Mauvais Guillame’s Haunted Hymnsinger of Torm & Mithdradates Doom Skald were used as inspiration.
Feedback is Welcomed!

Click Here It looks good. This type of combo is always very powerful. I do have some suggestions that can polish it up a bit.

I would take the heavy armor proficiency at level 1 and pick up still spell instead of luck of heroes. With 16 levels you might get dispelled and have to put a buff back up (e.g. haste). With an 8 dex I would want to get the heavy armor proficiency as soon as possible.

You only nead a 40 tumble it's base score not adjusted score that gives you the AC boost (for spellcraft it's adjusted score). To make use of your level 16 bard song you need an adjusted perform of 30 (27). The accurate requirements of bard song are here.
