Here is a build of been playing with for a Bard Virtuoso. I only have the charcter up to lvl9. It's been working out great with the Enthrallment and music of the dead. A holy power bow helps too. The bow helps with the distance. I went with darkleaf breasplate armor to keep up AC. Nicked longsword and flaming mace with a +4 heavy shield when melee is necessary. A heal boost item is good too. I actually gimped con in my build and have it at 8 and went with an 18 cha., here I swapped that stat. HP hasn't been a problem with AC, songs and spells to compensate.

Well, enjoy
