Originally posted by Litigation: Crescendo: Paragon Paths Valorous Bards will pick up War Chanter, no questions asked, which is everything they want in a PP and probably more. Bards of other virtues have nothing to complain about, though. They get to pick from a diverse range of good-to-great...

Originally posted by Litigation: Extra Practice: Feats Note for the general, racial and power source feats: The ones I mention will mostly be ranked blue or higher (with a few blacks). I'll note traps, as well. Bards should generally prioritize their feat selection in the following order: 1...

Originally posted by Litigation: Same Old Song: At-Will Powers Powers have been separated by melee weapon, ranged weapon and implement powers for your convenience. Pretty much any Bard, and unquestionably any pure implement-attacking Bard, should pick up Staggering Note. The other at-will...

Originally posted by Litigation: Artists Born, not Made: Races Cliffs Notes version: You really can't go wrong with any race that has a Charisma bonus. Tieflings, Pixies and Satyrs, especially, are incredible for multiple Bard builds; Tieflings excel as Cunning Bards and Valorous Fake Skalds...

Originally posted by Zathris: Heroic Feats Class Feats Show Accurate Magic Weapon (EPG) – You would think this would either make Magic Weapon more accurate, or increase its bonus, you’d be wrong.  Until someone makes a Sigil power that’s an Encounter power, this is a trap. Arcane Trapsmith...
