Hi guys, any help would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I am making a Bard build for a campaign starting up in august. I can use all 3.5 books excluding the Tome of Battle. No 3.0 stuff at all.
I was just wondering what you thought of my character build, and if there were any possible ways of improving it (technically or for roleplaying purposes). I tried to format it so it's as easy as possible to follow.
Character Description:
Race: Gnome
Level Starting: Level 1
Personality: A mix of quirky bard who loves to play childish pranks on the other characters, but has massive amounts of diplomacy. He's pretty friendly and comedic like elan (ie not much common sense), but he's really skilled in what he does (play music and "make friends"). He's easily scared though, and hides a lot when things don't go his (or the party's) way. He hates using melee weapons (prefers magic and his diplomacy to get him out of trouble) and only carries a rapier because he feels it makes him dashing (his hometown basically bred swashbucklers).
I know it's really hard to give a good image of him on a message board (atleast in my opinion), but I hope this helps to allow you guys to help me, because i feel like i need it.
Again sorry that my thoughts are so spread out. Any help would be great!
