Hey guys!
It seems my plans for Summoner has fallen through as they don't fit the Setting we are playing in. Not shocked, but on to another Character idea.
So it is looking like all Major rolls in the party are being taken care of by other players, so I'm looking at a "5th Party Member" type build and I am thinking of Tricking out a Bard.
My DM has already OK'ed me playing a Bard, but he dislikes bards in General. He thinks their quite lame with all the Song and Dance, and I am sure I am going to get picked on because of it. So, with that in mind, I want to take a different spin on a Bard and make it into more of a Warlord.
So with that out of the Way, here's what I have so far.
At the Moment, I'm debating between two paths... basically Strong Magic or not. No mater where I go, I would like to stay optimized for Inspire Courage.
Something like...
Bard8/Warblade2/Sublime Chord1/Jade Phoenix Mage9
But I would rather somehow have more Progression for Inspire Courage. Outside of Fochlucan Lyrist, I'm not sure if there is a way.
Or...
Bard 4, Warblade 16
I am still trying to hash out all of the Details still. Trying to see if I can get high Optimization of Inspire Courage and still have a strong Caster level with a High BAB. If not, I might just go more Warblade.
Any suggestions?
