[QUOTE="Omegaxicor, post: 6149922, member: 95351"] I want to specialise, not optimise, a Human Bard in Healing and Inspire Courage abilities (and any other cool but similar powers) this character is a performer who heals anyone injured around (think Cleric/Bard but Pure Bard) I will have Perform (Sing) maxed but everything is undecided, I need help for two reasons firstly, I have never played a Bard and secondly, I need this build for tomorrow evening (30 hours by my watch). I am 1st level going to about 5th or 6th maybe as high as 10th but I don't want to multiclass wildly. Now all material is allowed but must be reviewed by the DM before acceptance (which will probably not be a problem) but Core and Complete is 100% Ok. The character I play doesn't use weapons or attack directly and is just a buffer/healer so I don't need any offensive powers but anything other than armour to boost my AC would be handy. I have 160g to spend but without armour/weapons that can be spent on level 1 scrolls. my attributes will either be the elite array or a high point buy system (I don't know until the day whether my guy is an NPC or an actual character) but so long as I can heal/buff my stats are largely irrelevant (Elite array for us is 16, 14, 12, 12, 10, 8). any help of spells/feats/items would be helpful since I am currently lost EDIT: my wealth will obviously increase in line with wealth by level so after 1st level any items you would recommend need not be within the 160g bracket, I also do not get to keep any of the 160g so use as much as possible on useful items [/QUOTE]
