Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gaiden" data-source="post: 4969924" data-attributes="member: 103">I am new to 4e and looking for help to optimize a bard in a party composed of a human wizard, shifter rogue, and goliath warden.  I was planning on creating a human cunning bard.  I particularly like the unlimited multiclassing available for bards and wanted to exploit that to its fullest potential.  It seems to me that such multiclassing can greatly expand the roles with which this bard can fill.Mechanically I am looking for versatility w/o futility.  In other words, I want the character to be able to fill different roles but not so poorly that his filling them is pointless.First I am torn between human, half elf, and gnome.  The half-elven paragon feat converting his multiclassed at-will encounter power to an at-will power seems amazing.  The gnomish feat that gives +1 to attack and dmg with charm powers equally seems REALLY good.  Of course, the human extra feat allows that many more multiclassing feats.Mechanical suggestions would be most appreciated.Current stats:  13,13,13,14,17,18 (arrange as desired - I actually rolled these!)The other aspect is the image of the character.  If you remember Hauer from Fatal Fury, that is the personality I am going for - 'over the top full of himself'.  Not sure if there is a way to tie that in to your suggestions.Thanks for the help</blockquote>
