[3.5/Pathfinder] Build Help: Combat Tactician

[Eldariel]

To be fair, my other issue with bard is that PF bard measures bardsong in rounds per day rather than uses per day--lamesauce extraordinaire.

I've perused White Raven and while it is pretty leadery, it's more "CHARGE" leader than "HIT HIM AGAIN" leader. That statement makes no sense, let me try again:

TL;DR I want to play Theoden instead of Boromir.

It's well...it depends on your maneuver selection. I think White Raven is perfect for a leader rather than a frontliner too. Try this:

Stances:
Bolstering Voice
Tactics of the Wolf
Swarm Tactics

Maneuvers:
Leading the Attack
Douse the Flames
Tactical Strike
White Raven Tactics*
Covering Strike
Flanking Target
Order Forged From Chaos*
Clarion Call
Swarming Attack
War Master's Charge

The *s don't require attacks at all, and the rest boost others' stuff with your attacks, aside from War Master's Charge which...well, yeah. But it's a level 9 maneuver so I'm just giving it a free pass.

As for the Bard song, well, meh. I'd still think it's worth it; maybe talk for stacking the Warblade/Crusader levels with Bard for duration of Inspire Courage too due to the way it got rewritten with Song of the White Raven?
