So I'm in the beginning stages of a new campaign with a lot of intrigue and empire-building attached. I've been told there WILL be combat and dungeoning, but that it will be split at least evenly with the intrigue and spy stuff.
We currently have a V. Human Paladin aiming for Conquest, a High Elf Rogue aiming for Arcane Trickster, a V. Human Tempest Cleric, and a Feral Tiefling Divination Wizard.
As the Bard, I would be roleplaying as a minor member of the Paladin's house who acts as his herald/ambassador while angling for a way to climb up to a higher noble status. In terms of gameplay, I'd like to run as a back-line support character with emphasis on social interaction and stealth.
I was aiming to play a Half-Elf because there are already two V. Humans in the party, one of them being the Paladin. I would prefer to single-class this character if possible.
The DM says he plans on going to 20, but I suspect 12-15 is more likely in practice.
I was wondering:
1) Should I focus more on Dex or Con in the long haul?
2) What Feats/Skills I should look out for?
3) What spells you would recommend?
4) Are there any magic items I should look out for or talk to the DM about?
5) Should I stick with a Rapier or use a different weapon?
6) Would you personally stay with the Lore Bard or would you pick a different College?
