So I am currently playing in a campaign with some friends and want to use this opportunity to play around a bit. The group is really really really un-optimized so I can get away with playing silly builds that would normally drag the entire party down (actually retired a DMM Cleric because I didn't realize how low OP they were and my cleric was way too good).
We have:
-5th level Sorcerer (poor-decent spell selection, likes to blast and cast grease)
-5th level Binder (usually binds same vestige every day, the one that can cast lighting bolt)
-5th level Warblade (most optimized of the group but even then he shot for lower than average for some fun)
-5th level swordsage (similar optimization as the warblade)
-Myself: 4th level Bard who just gained a level. I have weapon Finesse, Improved Disarm and a whip. Mostly I have been using bardic music and scrolls to buff the warblade.
The ideas I have been tossing around so far are:
-Duskbade (at least 3 levels for channel ability)
-Wu Jen (Can't cast in my armor so perhaps not ideal)
-Shugenja (Charisma synergy, no worries about my armor, but doesn't seem that interesting overall)
-Rogue (Story appears to be heading into dealing with elementals so this may be a poor choice for now)
-Swashbuckler (Already have weapon finesse but a level or two might be fun, fits character personality)
Prestige classes down the line
-Mage of the Arcane Order (If I go into Wu-Jen this seems like it might be interesting)
-Sublime Chord
TL:DR Please offer any suggestions that seem like they could be fun/interesting to play as Bard 4/Something 1. Ignore optimization for this group has none. I have access to almost every single 3.5 book and could probably locate anything from Dragon Magazine. The latter may not get approved though.
