I have a pathfinder bard with the street singer variant. Going very much for a support character. First feat was obviously lingering performance. I need to select two more from this list (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats) (no local, 3rd-party, or achievement feats), and I'm frankly at a loss. Was tentatively thinking arcane talent and magical aptitude, but I don't know that those will be that useful. We're starting at level 5, it's a short campaign so no feat chains that won't pay off right away. Ideas, playground?

What weapons do you use, and what are your feat choices?

Bouncing Spell is great for spells like Tasha's Hideous Laughter, it just doesn't stop!

Feats so far are Lingering Performance and Skill focus perception (racial, must be a skill focus feat). Weapon unknown but I'm going to try to stay as far away from actual combat as I possibly can. We have a combat bard already who is focusing on illusions and trickery, so I don't have as many of the staple spells because he has them. 2 feats and a trait left to select.

Current spell list:

0: detect magic, mage hand, unwitting ally, daze, read magic, prestidigitation
1: charm person, beguiling gift, vanish, ventriloquism
2: Detect thoughts, enthrall, honeyed tongue

As you can see, going for a diplomancer with a side of designated distraction. Street performer lets me make things treat me or an ally as invisible if they fail a will save, using my bardic performance. Metamagic would have to be no more than a +1 and would have to be worth using up one of my precious 2nd level slots, as I don't expect to do much leveling.

Edit: this is me so far http://www.dndsheets.net/view.php?id=11273

This is the other bard: http://www.dndsheets.net/view.php?id=6261

Anyone? I was hoping for bardic music synergy but not seeing anything good.

What about Expanded Arcana (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advanced/advancedFeats.html#expanded-arcana)?
I would also recommend Persistent Spell, which may syngerise with your Lingering Performance.
Other than those, no other feats are really worth recommending unfortunately.

EDIT: There's also Extra Performance.

Good point, can always take multiples of Expanded Arcana. I think all my spells are of instantaneous duration, but bouncing spell might not be a bad one for charms.

Edit: Also considering a UMD feat or two, don't know if those are worth it? I'm still waiting on revised starting gold (pointed out that 500gp is nowhere near enough for level 5's).

Edit 2: Are PF skill focus feats worth the investment?
