Warchanter Metabuild ideas

[HalfOrcBeautyQueen]

Hi Everyone!

Right now my bard is level 12. Once she hits 20, I want to TR her. I want to TR her at least 3x, because I want a 36 pt build. Since I'm going to TR her, I was daydreaming about a warchanter metabuild, and was wondering what the best past lives would be. I'm not opposed to hypothetically TRing more than 3 times, but after the third life I might change my tune, literally.

The Only requirement I have for my 2nd life is that it MUST be a Half-orc. It's always been my plan to reincarnate into a half-orc when they came out.

I was thinking:

1st life Bard -> 2nd life Fighter -> 3rd life Bard

Or maybe stuffing in a life of Monk before becoming Bard again. So going Bard - Fighter - Monk - Bard. I'm more concerned with passive past life feats and stacking those as opposed to the selectable feats. The benefits of going 1 life Fighter and 1 life monk as opposed to 2 lives of either is that it makes me one step closer to completionist if I should chose to go that route sometime in the very far off future.

I was also thinking of maybe going a caster route instead, and going 1 life wizard 1 life FvS for the extra spell penetration and 20 sp.

OR

Bard -> fighter/monk > fvs -> super bard warchanter

Naturally I'm getting ahead of myself here but drooling about the future makes the game more fun.

Has anyone done something similar, or does someone have a meta-bard that they currently play and would have done something different? Thoughts & feedback appreciated.

Making the second life a Barbarian for the extra hp would be pretty useful for a 3rd life Warchanter, especially if you go pure for maximum buffs. And a Barbarian Half-orc isn't the worst combination.
