I'm going to be playing a level one half-elf bard, in a campaign setting that's stuck at level one (for an ingame reason)
While I love this idea and relish the notion of a low level game, I'm finding myself very torn between the various feats.
I'll be using the racial skill focus for my main performance skill (duh), probably singing.
My other feat will be my only feat for the majority of my career.
This is core only.
I'm thinking a dagger-thrower would be fun, but at level 1, I can't take quick draw. This leaves Weapon Finesse, for when I want to use them in melee, weapon focus Daggers, point blank shot or something else entirely.
I'd want feats like Spell Focus Enchantment/Illusion, lingering performance, etc. but they're just not high priority enough when you only get a single feat.
Spell suggestions would also be welcome.
I'm thinking Sleep and Charm person for level 1 spells.
But since the overall theme of the game is how dangerous encounters with monsters or wild animals would be, to the point where the GM doesn't expect us to engage in fights other than those we absolutely must, perhaps something like expeditious retreat would be a better idea.
