Actually, IMHO, It may be solved, depend on the availability of magic items in the campaign.Unless your campaign is low-magic one, you can buy (or your comrades can make) various magic items. Now Use Magic Device is one of the truly strong skill.Your bard is hitting the 3rd level. So now you can have 6 ranks of UMD skill. And your bard has CHA of +3. Now +9 in total. Maybe you can take Skill Focus (Use Magic Device) and now your UMD modifier is +12. And if you take 5 ranks of Spellcraft, it gives +2 synergy bonus to UMD when involving magic scrolls.UMD +12 means you can activate any Spell Trigger items (read as any wands or Staves) if you roll 8 or higher. That means you can activate them about 2 in 3 chance. Even if you roll 1, the result is 13 and enough to avoid mishap.Using scrolls are slightly difficult. But there will be not much trouble using low level scrolls as your modifier is +14 now.Continue to be a bard and take more ranks in UMD. With some amount of wands and scrolls, you will surely have something to do even when you have used up all of your songs and spells.</blockquote>
