What would an appropriate build be for a Stormsinger?
AFAIK, the best ability for the Storm singer PrC comes at level 3, and if I'm reading it correctly it's amazing. A 60' ranged touch attack every turn, does damage based off your perform skill.
The PrC requirements involve spending a lot of skill points and the Bardic Music ability. Fortunately, bards tend to have skill points. Unfortunately, I have never heard anything about levels of bard (aside from Elan in OOTS). Is it really that bad?
Would it be worth it to dip bard for a few levels, then take 3 stormsinger levels to get some kind of damage output going, then finish on a third option?
- The Stormsinger PrC lets you gain spellcasting levels (10/10!) - bards' spells don't seem too powerful, though. Bard/Wizard with CHA and INT as the two main stats seems like it would work (high INT letting you get enough skill points to qualify for the PrC)
I'm not set on using this type of build, I just came across this interesting PrC ability and want to know if there's a practical way to access it. Build a character around Racial levels?
