Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scratched_back" data-source="post: 2535533" data-attributes="member: 16262">Okay, first of all, I asked my DM if I could use that Eberron feat (song of the heart) despite us playing in FR, he said fine no problems. Now if I read that correctly from JASIN's post earlier on, once I meet the pre-requisites at 3rd level, that feats slaps +1 on to my Inspire Courage Bardic Music. (I would appreciate it incidentally if somebody could paste that feat here word for word as I don't have access to Eberron material.)My DM let me start  with starting gold for a 1st level Bard, also a MW weapon of any kind I can use, and MW Studded Leather. I haven't decided what to spend the cash on yet, but I did negotiate a MW weapon traded for a MW instrument. In this case, either a drum or a horn. I haven't decided yet. Either would add a further +1 to my song effect.It's become clear that Inspirational Boost is a very worthwhile spell for me to take, but I haven't decided on my other 1st level spell yet, nor on my cantrips. Needless to say, with Inspirational Boost in effect, at 2nd level I'd be giving allies +3 to hit, at 3rd level it'd rise to +4 (With song of the heart).It's become painstakingly clear that feats are what it's all about. This being said, I think it'll be human that I'll choose. I still need one more feat in that case, suggestions still welcome. I haven't looked, but I wonder if there are any regional feats applicable to the bard. If not, extra music seems to be a strong contender.Down to stats. I think I may take... well... I just don't know. The 18 from Line A (see OP) is so tempting, but if I took that and slapped it into CHA I could never have a decent DEX and INT. I've accepted the fact that melee is not the build I'm going for, I'll be more of a support man so STR isn't an issue particularly. Still... I just don't know what to do with those stats  :\ Synthetik Fish: Thanks for the throwing suggestion. I did ponder it for quite a long time, but I think it'll be slightly too top-heavy for feats. That, and the fact that I don't want to make a target of myself for all the enemies, especially being 2 levels under-par. I'd get my face stoved in! Thanks for the suggestion though, and I appreciate the effort it took!I do like the idea of still being the party face, and I do like the idea of Mega-DC fascinates and charms, so I'd love the 18 in CHA, but the rest of the stats are giving me a headache!Still thinking I'm afraid, but keep the ideas rolling guys!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />EDIT: A Buckler sounds tasty for +1 AC until it's enchanted, bearing in mind that my AC will be pathetic, I don't mind a 5% ASF. Also, a whip I think will be very useful indeed, I shall buy one with my starting gold.</blockquote>
