Bard help?

[DrakHar]

I am trying to build a warchanter, but I'm having trouble with stat distribution more than anything. I want it to be at least capable in melee, I am thinking of being a straight bard, possibly a splash of fighter. Human is my preference, unless you guys think something else is FAR superior. I have 32 point builds, and a few level 20 characters, so as long as items aren't bound to character, they're not much of a problem.

Thanks.

Melee (non CC Bard). 20 Levels
Human
Str: 18
Dex: 15 (need +2 tome for ITWF)
Con: 15

Feats:
1) Toughness
1) Extend
3) WF: Pierce
6) PA
9) TWF
12) ITWF
15) IC: Pierce or Khop
18) GTWF

You can change this build by adding:
2 levels of fighter ---->feats, haste boost
and/or
2-3 levels of rogue------> evasion, haste boost, SA

If you add the levels of fighter it takes the pressure off the feats, allowing you to pick up Khopesh and Improved Crit, and maybe Empower Healing/Maximise.

You can also then change to another race, if you so wish, such as Halfling, and you'll still have enough feats to go around.

Note: TWF won't really be viable until the mid-levels where you pick up TWF. Also, throwing in some fighter in the early levels helps a lot with the feats. Other than that, the previous post has all that's important imo
