Dwarven THF WC battlebard

[rkazman]

Ok so I was thinking of making a battlebard, and I was going to go with 16/2fighter/2Barb, but I was thinking of taking 6 lvls of fighter giving me kensei, now to all those wc bard out there will i miss enough benefits going 6 levels of fighter or should i got to 16 on my bard.

Personal choice. Be aware of what you gain, for what you lose:
16: Otto's Irresistible, Mass Cure Mod
15: AC Song
14: Second to last inspire courage upgrade (last at 20)

seriously, a wc bard, what does it do, sit on pot?

its not too hard to write out warchanter, abbrevations like this are silly cause wc is widely used in completely other meaning than warchanter

if im only one bothered by this and other similar abbrev's then i guess its just me, didnt change the fact that i had good laugh, wc bard weee!

dont know, i dont hold any battles in wc usually, most of time its quiet and peaceful place

I was working on that idea. Here is what I had:

It's not in the best form ever but it's a start. Some other things to think about would be taking stunning blow with the dwarf and fighter enhancements to tactics. Should be able to UMD heal scrolls in this form for 230(mastery 4). It misses out on level 6 spells and AC song, but should be pretty tough and do plenty of damage.

With a great axe:
Attack/Damage
+7/8 Song
+2/2 Dwarf
+1/0 WF: Slash
+0/+2 Weapon Special
+1/+1 Kensi I
---------
+11 attack +13 damage before spells, items, stats, etc.

if im only one bothered by this and other similar abbrev's then i guess its just me, didnt change the fact that i had good laugh, wc bard weee!

Whereas I get annoyed by people who refuse to use the Shift key when they're supposed to. [Yeah, I'm that guy who leaves his participles dangling - you wanna make something of it?] I guess we all have our crosses to bear, sport.

Anyway, OP: have you already looked at Genghis Khan and BOOMPH? What do you want to be able to do different or better than those two?
