I'd personally take toughness over extend first, cause my warchanters are kinda squishy but thats totally up to the player I guess. Looks fine to me, but I'm by far not an expert. I'm sure someone will have more suggestions for ya. As long as you buff though, your probably not gonna have a hard time finding groups.

[Freeman]

First, your 18/2 bard/fighter has four fighter levels, so a slight oversight there I would actually go 18/2 though. You don't gain that much from the last two fighter levels, and keeping 18 bard levels leaves you prepared for Warchanter III. Also, I would find and use a +1 Dex tome instead of putting your level-up point into Dex. They are cheap and common, and that will satisfy the TWF Dex requirement. I'd also take one of the fighter levels earlier on, to gain the weapon proficiencies. You can use the feat slot that frees up to take Toughness earlier. I usually prefer to take Toughness at level 12 at the latest, since that's the point where the extra HP really starts to help out.

As for spells, switch Cat's Grace for Invisibility, and take Good Hope at level 7.(This is the single best buffing spell in the game, so get it as soon as you can)
