I don't usually plan out my builds in advance, which is probably why I have like 20 busted chars in my vault. Rolling Eyes I didn't exactly have a goal in mind while making this char other than it makes for a good RP build. If I was to try an "uber" type I'd ditch Minstrel of the Edge for RDD...

My skill numbers may be a bit off and I designed them for a specific server but the bottom line is that you get a ton of skills to spread around. I like it and will be excited to see this on the Mountain . not sure but if i remember right it'll have a 58AC BAB of 27 and save of Fortitude (20)/ Reflex (24) and Wollpower (25) Wouldnt this build be much better off with a lower Cha, say 16-18, and with the rest of the points in dex (or even make it a str-based build). I know bards performance beneits from high but losing 8-10 AB points is a big hit. in hindsight yeah dex build would probably go a lot better. i don't quite remember where i was going with this build when i built it as a CHA build. it was too long ago now.
