    Default Please Critique My Bard Build(s)

    I'm trying to build a TWF/CC focused Bard with high UMD and somewhat decent haggle (but not super important) this is what I have so far. Bear with me this kinda long (Will reduce to one build when I get feedback on race choice) I don't really care whether this build is MC or Pure but if you do suggest a MC could you please explain why (previous build requests people have just posts a good mix w/o explanation) Also I'm not sure what Prestige to go (most people I've asked say unless you go Warchanter don't waste your AP)

    I like the Drow for the starting stats (no tome req for GTWF) but their enhancements don't really suit Bard (or ANY class really) and I don't particularity like the Drow race. The Halfling helps with the bonus to Dex and a good enhancement setup. I'll probably go Elf because their similar to Drow starting bonus wise (immune to sleep,etc. not stats) AND they have a good enhancement line but the Humans extra feat/skill points might really help out.

    Note: I will starting this character at Level 4 (Head Start) for so if a MC gimped me Level 1-3 but gives me just that much more power at 4 That's ok.
