You have to be willing to forgo spell progression in order to take the path, though. You'll do a great job in the cities, and if you can be an Urban Ranger, all the better.Alternately, if you want to replace spell power with melee prowess, then you can go Bard/Dragon Disciple. However, with your Strength, I wouldn't recommend the melee route. Similarly, with your not-particularly-high Intelligence, I don't think Duelist is the best choice, either.If you're looking to maximize spell power, then Sublime Chord is hands down the way to go.With your Dexterity and Charisma being high, I'd stick to Bard only, Bard/Sublime Chord, or Bard/Ranger. Work on your archery; the Point Blank Shot feat series will net you more than Weapon Finesse in this case because you should be singin' and slingin'. Also, part of playing the Bard is to keep in mind that you are not the heavy hitter; Bards do lots of assisting and little scoring. The Bard, however, is the very best party manager. The Bard's spells are mind-affecting, environmental type stuff. Stuff like Use Magic Device and the second-string abilities mean that you can fill in for just about any role in a pinch. The most successful Bards I've seen are always asking what they can do right that moment to make it as easy as possible for the party as a whole to be successful. Bards find the leads for adventures, haggle, manage the party's contacts, and boost the other party members' abilities at just the right time. If you can relish that role, then Bards are awesome.</blockquote>
