6th level feat for a bard? [3e]

[Myrmex]

I'm working on a cohort for my cerebremancer,. His primary role will be party face and run our business operations. His build is bard4/warlock1/mindbender1, using an early entry trick for mindbender. The warlock level is for +6 to diplomacy, bluff, and intimidate, and a better attack option than a crossbow while I'm singing.

My feats so far are Nymph's Kiss & Words of Creation. In combat he'll start giving a pep talk to boost everyone's attack & damage by +4 (inspire courage + inspirational boost doubled, is 4, right?).

His race is Gray Elf from Kingdom's of Kalamar (-2 con, +2 int, +2 cha!!!!!!). I am debating getting Obtain Familiar: Toad, just for the +2 con.

I am trying to decide on a 6th level feat for him. Books available are:
3.0
Core [DM is letting me use 3.5 bard, thank goodness], MotW, S&F, T&B, S&S, DoftF, BoED, BoVD, OA, ELH, Kingdom's of Kalamar Player's Guide

3.5
XPH, LoM, CArc, CAdv, CWar, Drc


Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I _believe_ melodic casting is in your allowed list.

Melodic Casting is CMag IIRC, but see if you can't get your DM to allow it anyway; it's Natural Spell for Bards.

Unfortunately, the closest thing I've got to melodic casting in my books is Disguise Spell in Song & Silence, which requires 12 ranks in perform and is a +1 LA metamagic.

If I was going to badger my DM into allowing me stuff from supplements we don't have, I'd go with Song of the Heart.

Not if I'm DMing. The Inspirational Boost wouldn't get doubled, and you'd end up with +3.
