Jaebrin Bard party optimization [3.5]

[Bad Wolf]

So I was planning out a party of a Conjurer, Duskblade, Sorcerer, and the Bard. Conjurer summons meatshields, Duskblade fights up front, Sorcerer does blaster thingies, and the Bard buffs up everyone.

So I was just wanted to plan out the Bard first. Dragonfire Inspiration for the summoned monsters and Duskblade. Bard 10/Sublime Chord 10 maybe? Any suggestions for the Bard build will be appreciated.

Any book or dm house rule restrictions?

For the build I would recommend this instead:
Bard 8/ Virtuoso 2/ Sublime Chord 2/ Virtuoso 8


Also these two handbooks may be of some use.

Not really. All legitimate first party books and online stuff.

In a party with lots of melee (like a summoner usually) I like to put some Marshall levels on my bard. The minor ability of Master of Tactics adds the Marshals Cha bonus to all dmg while flanking. That can add up quick and it stacks with IC and DFI.
