bard PrC's

[sithramir]

I'm making a bard character for the first time. Where and what are some cool bard prestige classes? I looked in songs and silence and didn't really see much that I liked as I didn't want to give up levels of spellcasting ability for the already weakened spellcasting power of a bard.

If you're only looking at WotC sources, you have very few choices. There are some interesting bard PrCs in FFG's Path of Magic, though.

The Virtuoso in Song & Silence offers quite a bit to the Bard, but I don't think it's all that interesting. The Bladesinger is pretty good, but not especially bard-like. Try the Master Harper on the Wizards website. You get full spellcasting ability in a PrC for Bards.

The Warrior Skald from Races of Faerun is one of the cooler bard PrCs I've seen.
