This is my first attempt at making a bard. I'm considering this for my barbarians second life. I didn't put the enhancements in any particular order, or at any level. That comes in the second draft. The use of tomes wouldn't be an issue since I have more than enough plat to get them, as well as any +6 equipment I need. I don't plan on him being a tank or the parties primary healer so much as a middle line fighter who engages foes who get past the fighters.
Ideally this toon can disable traps, buff the party and then leap into combat swinging a rapier and short sword. The combat feats could have been picked in a better order I think, and some replaced outright. Mostly I'm looking for advice on how to improve this character since I probably could have made better feat, spell, and enhancement choices. I chose barbarian over fighter because I liked the idea of an extra rage, even though it does fatigue me when it runs out.
