I'm going to be picking up leadership at 9th, and I want a Robin to go with my Bats, but I wanted to check to see what others thought of my concept before I submitted him for approval. Our group is pretty well balanced, except that we don't really have any "oh ****" help right now. Our only healing are bedrolls and a half charged clw at ECL8, so I want my cohort to be great at support. So a DFI Bard was pretty much the first thing I thought of, and I like that he can be a great support helper without outshining any of the actual PCs.

Build will start with 7 levels of Bard and progress to War Weaver for CL 8,9,10 and then pick up the first two levels of Sublime Chord, then back to finish out WW, giving those CLs to the SC, before grabbing Stormsinger, which goes to SC as well. So when I get to ECL20 he should be at 19, since I'll take Improved Cohort for my lvl15 or 18 feat, and casting 9th level spells and sharing the juciest ones with the whole group. One of the main driving factors for WW is, as said at the start, we have ****e for heals, and this way if IC heals are needed it'll top off the rest of us as well. With his high DEX I'll arm him with a shortbow with splitting and the like on it so he can plink when he's done buffing.
So how does this look to everyone? Are there any PrCs that advance casting and bardic music that would work better than Stormsinger? Nymph's Kiss is really the only feat I have to lose IMO, and I am thinking about it so I can get Extra Music.
