Support is generally not my wheelhouse, so I have never once touched a bard in any capacity during my nine years of playing D&D/PF. I don't know what's good or what traps I may step into. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Allowed materials are everything official from 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e except for ToB.
The character concept isn't anything too outside the box. A melancholic lamenter, probably human for the free feat. An important note is my DM is allowing Dirgesinger to not only continue full bard casting progression, but is also allowing Dirgesinger and other bardlike PrC levels to stack with bard for performance availability. I will have 12 feats from level 1-20 plus two flaws. 13 if I pick human.
Necropolitan is available to me, so I was considering picking it up. But on the other hand I kind of want to become a lich down the line.
I can't really decide if I want to go out of my way to get access to Dragonfire Inspiration, is it worth it?
I love the Doomspeak feat from Champions of Ruin. If there are any magic items or other character options in line with this I would love them.
Should I spend a lot of feats on undead creation? The capstone ability for Dirgesinger is very nice IMO, it has very little restrictions.
For performances I'm taking wind, string and singing. My primary instrument and weapon will be a scythe strung like a harp. Obviously harmonized, and if possible I will try to ask my DM if it can be made out of the same material a Crystal Echoblade.
Thank you so much for any advice and suggestions. I apologize dearly if this seems poorly structured, I'm on mobile at work.
