main purpose buffing the party :

+ halfling companion 4 for max buffing the tank giving him +5 to damage +4 to attack +5 to saves and a +3 to ac.
+pure for max damage songs.
+decent sp pool
+extend.
+able to 50+ perform to fascinate if needed.
+easily able to hit 36+ umd to raise dead 100%
+not the best of hagglers but able to hit 50 if needed wich gives you something.. back.
+gtwf to be able to do some dps. Ofcourse you should make no illusions tho to be able to outdmg a berserker or any other dps class for that matter but the cunning 4 and to be able to hit 34 str with no end gear game at all,only the titan grips + your songs rage and haste and focusing chant + maybe a divine power clicky should make you able to hit the baddies with some damage. You should play this bard like a rogue for the max potential tho.

this is a 34 point build i would suggest taking -1 charisma and -1 dex in the start for 32 point myself. Any suggestions of what could be improved or why this is a bad or decent build are apreciated.

This is my tr-ed bard right now i was a halfling bard before but i got kinda tired of the low dps cause i screwed up a lot of stuf like never be able to hit 17 dex for the itwf and gtwf feats wich really hurt in the dps department. I choose to raise con at level 20 to be able to hit 24 con with just 1 exceptional con from an item + frenzy should be able to give you 26 con wich should suffice i think in most situations. Also its ok to start with a 1 dex tome cause starting at 16 you only need 1 dex to hit the gtwf.

thank you for reading.
