The title essentially says it all. Sort of sick of warforged characters, so I'd like one of pretty much any other race.

Some things I'd like out of the build:
Pretty good trap saves, my latency can get pretty bad, and I can take some pretty serious trap damage at times.
Max DPS is not a requirement, trading 10% dps for 15% surviveability is a sacrifice I'm willing to make, just so long as I'm not entirely gimp.
I find buffing to be rather fun, whether that means I take a buff class splash or I get some UMD, it doesn't matter.
I'd also like a class that performs fairly well between the levels of 4 and 10 (obviously, all the way to 20, but I find that many builds just let themselves be bad in this range)
That's really about it. I understand that's a bit complicated, so all requests don't have to be met, but I'd like most of them to be, if possible. :) Thanks!

Sounds like a perfect candidate for a THF bard, maybe with 2 rogue splash for evasion. I'd make a build but can't here at work, maybe someone else will be so kind..

My original plan was twf, but a THF bard doesn't sount miserable either, I've got a carni-thing from Delera's sitting around that I can use.

If there's any way that anyone could come up with a TWF bard that'd rock as well, though I imagine the THF may be strapped for just about everything anyway.

I just have several warforged characters already, as I explained. The TWF part is just a flavor that I like, I'm unsure why it's suspicious that I'd want one. As far as I know TWF is getting a nerf pretty soon, so it's not like I'm FOTM-ing it.

Heh I mis-read the OP. I thought you said NOT TWF. THF bard is still pretty easy, but you gotta spread around the feats and stats a bit more. Although you will get better mileage out of TWF because of the song bonus applying to both weapons.

I assume you mean TWF bard is still pretty easy, if so I think I'd rather go that route. The rogue splash sounds pretty sweet, as I do enjoy trapmonkey and evasion is pretty sick.

I guess I worded the title kind of funny, a bit misleading. x.x;

Haha, understood. So, you seem to be about the only person poppin in here, and I understand you can't make a build for me. But is there a build you know of that you can provide a link for, or even a name that I might google?

I read up on it, it does seem like a fairly solid build, however it looks pretty expensive as well, requiring a +2 tome for every, or nearly every stat. I may give this a shot, but I'd just like everyone to know that I am still looking around :)

How about this one?

You just need a +1 tome for DEX (lvl 7), and maybe a +2 for STR and CHR at a later stage. It has good saves, dps and buffs.

I am currently leveling one up and it is a blast to play.

You, my friend, are incredible. This is exactly what I was looking for, dead on. :) Thank you!
