A static group I belong to has decided to branch out a little and make a WF only group that can cover the needed roles with only the four of us.
I've been messing with the character planner, trying to make a rogue2/bard14 (eventually 2-18) capable of disarming traps, buffing, and fighting when needed. I won't be the primary tank or the primary healer ...
The forums are pretty thick with builds, but I haven't seen any that fit these requirements. The ones I've put together seem to fall a little short of expectations (base 230 hp and 330 sp). I have access to some tomes ... +2 dex and +1 int in the bank ... and I can probably get more if needed.
The other 3 roles will likely be a DR intimitank, sorc, and ranger/fighter.
The skills/abilities/enhancements I'd like to bring include:
- warchanter with max damage enhancments available to uncapped bard
- UMD for raise dead, repair scrolls and wands
- search, disable, open lock
The feats I've tried in the build so far include:
- weapon focus and power attack (required for warchanter)
- toughness
- mithral body
- two weapon fighting
- improved two weapon fighting
So should I stick with the rogue2-bard14 or try to add a level of fighter for the extra feat (I feel like I'm going to need extend if I intend to buff)?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated - most anything (feats, classes, etc.) are negotiable as long as the needed role is filled.
