[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3426626, member: 2525"] Interesting class. I think a bard might find it quite useful, particularly if they take the spring attack chain of feats. Human Bard 1 Dodge, Lightning Reflexes 2 3 Quicken Spell 4 5 Buy the new item in MIC that gives you Mobility 6 Spring Attack 7 8 Swiftblade 1 (though I might delay to 9th to get the +1 inspire courage and the extra bard level to use with a crystal echoblade) I think that would work pretty well. With the bonus to speed you eventually get, and bonus to strike when you move, you can move in, strike, and move out. And with swift spells available, you can buff or cast a melee touch attack spell along the way. Get one of those Harmonizing weapons from MIC (a +1 ability) and your weapon can continue your inspire courage song while you are doing this, and you can cast that swift spell while still maintaining the inspire courage. Get a Crystal Echoblade of Harmonizing, and you are really set, zipping in and out of combat doing massive damage, and with a great chance to hit, while ending movement far enough away from opponents that they cannot effectively hit back.
