I wanted to make a bard that uses TWF, plus has good Icy DCs.
The following build uses placeholder numbers - I haven't included some of the better gear/tomes in the numbers, because this is a low priority character for me.

Rough stat breakdown:
Str: 9 + 4 tome = 13 for PA + whatever other items I can fit on for to-hit
Con: 17 +3 tome + 2 excellence +2 guild +11 item +1 exceptional +4 insight +6 stalwart +2enhance = 48
Cha: 18 + 7 levels +4 tome +1 PDK enh +2 WC enh. +5 Destiny +11 Cha Item +3 Insight Item +1 Exceptional Item +2 Yugo +2 Inspire excellence +2 guild ship = 58 (Could also boost Turn the Tide)

PROS OF THE BUILD
Can Iconic TR into it - yay
High DCs 75+79 (and can improve easily - can pick up +6 in fighter and more in harper with a major enhancement rebuild)
High HPs: Con+Stance
OK Defense: Displacement/Ghostly/PRR/little MRR/Little dodge
Bit of healing
Decent TWF DPS
Good buffs
NEGATIVE:
Stuck on Cormyr weapons - I guess TF Bastard Swords would be the way to go.
Stuck in Divine Crusader and Fatesinger. I'm interested in seeing Fatesinger with the melee power boost.
Not single weapon fighting swashbuckler.
QUESTIONS:
Can you TWF double stike Frozen Fury?
Any improvements or comments would be greatly appreciated!
