This is my first attempt at using the Character Gen tool and am looking to create a good (decent) support build to run with a friend who is tired of the support and healing roles of her previous characters and wants to try the chaos of frontline melee. My idea was to provide buffs as well as wand/scroll mastery through the Bard class (Warchanter), multiclass with Rogue to disable traps, splash in some Arcane Archer (with Manyshot!) as I stand in the background, and still be able to do some passingly fair melee when needed. In a proper group situation I'm hoping to be able to fit in and contribute to the success of the party. I do realize that I am lacking in metamagic feats and limited in the healing aspect that many look for in a "support" bard - possibly even gimped by trying to do too much. Hoping for some constructive criticism and/or advice in order to tweak the build before beginning the new character. Attributes, skills, and enhancements are still variable at this stage and not final... if anyone sees anything horribly wrong please let me know.
