Resourceful Magician is a paragon path, of course. And it's quite a good one (IMHO) if you're an Int-Bard. I actually prefer being a Half-Elf Bard, because you get such amazingly good use out of Dilettante at paragon tier, particularly combined with Combat Virtuoso.

For a Divine Bard (no Wisdom required thanks to Combat Virtuoso), the Cleric multiclass feat makes a lot of sense, and Astral Seal (D.Pow) is just amazing for a Cha-based dude. Blessed Psalmist clears up your Implement issues (though so does a Symbol of Corellon -- and that gives you a free hand slot). The extra Majestic Word per encounter (a likely result of Action Point + area attack) is awesome, and Radiant Song + Song of Radiant Dawn = ZOMG PARTY NOVA, and you can do it every single encounter.

If you can afford to start at level 11, consider a Cha-based Warlord with no Str at all who multiclasses into Bard, then takes the Daring Blade paragon path.

A fellow PC found this link for my bard and I thought it warranted sharing. I think humans are a bit better than the link gives them credit for, but I suppose that is a matter of opinion.

I want a giant glowing red arrow to appear over their head when I throw this debuff. Yes, I play far too much WoW and no I don't have any issues w/any similarities people find in the 2. *shrug*

Which is better: Soldier of Faith or a dmg multiclass feat (Warrior of the wild, berserker's fury, etc.)?
