What are your goals for this build? I noticed you took Point blank Shot, but took highish strength. If going ranged drop str and go with dex. I also noticed you put 2 points into wisdom and took force of personality. With this feat wisdom is usless for a bard better to bump up your con a bit. With you current feat selection I would have stats more like str 10, dex 18, con 10, Int 12, wis 8, cha 18. If you state your goals for this build I would able to comment more.

I am just starting this Character. I've spec'd her out to 6th lvl to get the spellsinger enhancement.

I just took what the generic drow bard the system kicked out to me. Currently only lvl 2 can redo with no hassle.

I generally want a UMD machine, able to use anything under the sun with no restrictions.

What do you recommend replacing point blank shot with?

[Dailus]

If your main focus UMD then I guess I would replace it with Skill focus : UMD. If crowd control interests you I might take spell focus : enchantment and take skill focus later. UMd is a great asset for any class and no one does it better than a bard, but usually thats a secondary beneifit to another specialty ie healing, buffing, cc, or melee, but if UMD is your top priority I would definately take both skill focus : umd and the spellsinger specialty at some point in your build.

i would take spellsinger & some spell pen or enchantment feats

buff, stay in the back, & try to use some cc enchantment-based spells as you are too fragile for melee combat

maybe you can try using a repeater such as a cursespewer or banisher

the good thing is that if you want to re-roll, level 6 is a good time (vs. level 8 or higher)
