hey all
my friends and i are planing a drunkards and dragons one off (no misspelling) for which i'm planning on playing something akin to this:

majestic, i know.
we're playing 20pt buy, level 6, and each of us can have 1 free weapon proficiency extra.
so far i know for the build i want to do a human soundstriker bard 6, who wields an axe. thats all i know, and i'm a little stumped as to where to begin.
we figure sound strike gives me 6 blasts which can be stacked, but a save for each die rolled.
the primary problem will be how i do my performence, lead singing would be the obvious answer, given working my non cleaving axe into combat alongside my cleaving axe would just waste resources. eh, ill do air guitar and belt my lungs out.
for feats, i have 4 to play with. 1 i reckon will be arcane strike? not using swift actions for anything else. power attack seems like an obvious choice. as does lingering performence. i dont know what to do with feats.
as for what to spend money on, (i think i have 16,000gp) i'm thinking a nice axe of some description, a headband which adds charisma (aiming for +5/6 modifier), probably some nicer armor or rings of protection for better AC.
basically, i'm a little unsure how to proceed. how can i remain combat viable (as in wading into the thick of things) as a bard with this concept?
