[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 4116324, member: 25696"] You are so right. I had the skillrank requirements confused with several of the other Bardic PrC's which require 13 ranks (hence entry at 11th lvl) I've been looking into the following feats myself (and the lvl at which I could/would take them): Feats: 1: Able Learner(RD): all skill ranks cost 1 skill point to purchase. req: Human or doppleganger, only at first level. 1: Melodic Casting(CM) (requirement for Lyric Thaumaturge): cast spells while performing, use perform for concentration checks. req: bardic music, perform 4 ranks, spellcraft 4 ranks 3: Versatile Spellcaster(RotD): use two spellslots of the same level to cast one spell of one level higher req: Ability to spontaneously cast spells. 6: Lyric Spell(CAdv).: use bardic music uses to cast spells you know. (1+spell level) req: bardic music, perform 9 ranks, ability to spontaneously cast 2nd level spells others I might take at some point: Metamagic Song (RoS): spend bardic music instead of raising spell level when using metamagic feat. req: 2 MetaMagic feats.(which makes it inaccessible until I take MM Feats....) Song of the Heart(ECS): increase bonus from inspire courage, inspire competence, inspire greatness or inspire heroics by 1. also increase DC for fascinate, suggestion or mass suggestion by 1. req: bardic music, perform 6 ranks, inspire competence ability. Chord of Distraction (CS): use three bardic music uses to get one opponent within 30' flat-footed for one ally until next round or until opponent attacked. req: bardic music, perform 9 ranks. (IMO, not worth it, but I thought I'd list it anyway) Snowflake Wardance(Fr): use bardic music use to gain charisma bonus to attack rolls with slashing melee weapon. become fatigued for 10 minutes afterwards. req: bardic music ability, perform(dance) 6 ranks. I'm not too sure about Able Learner. For instance, would it (retroactively) allow me to spend (the) extra skillpoints I had to spend on cc skills? If I'd need to take some other Feat at lvl 1, the one's listed above have requirements that can't be met at lvl 1. Spell focus may be a good idea..... I'll keep it in mind. [/QUOTE]
