(Disclaimer: I'm at work currently, this will all be theory until I get back to my books.)
With my copy of the Player's Handbook 2 in shipment, and my subscription to the D&D Insider renewed, I now have a serious desire to play a Bard. But, not just any Bard. A true dabbler, testing the waters of every role and dipping his toes in just about everything he can.
To do this, though, I really have to plan around 1 ability score. Charisma. While it is a primary score for a striker (Sorcerer), leader (the Bard, naturally), and Defender (Paladin); the Controller gets left behind (for now). However since they can both use Wands, with a mediocre Intelligence, I think Wizard could work. This also opens up Swordmage as an option in the Defender field.
The sticking point for me is, though, which power to gain as an At Will through the Half Elf Paragon Feat at 11th level? I'm leaning toward Eyebite, but others are fairly intriguing. Advice?
