Fid the Bridgeburner - Malazan Build

[CoasterHops]

As a lover of Steven Erikson's - Tales of the Malazan Books of the Fallen, I thought I would look at starting to build some of the Characters from the series.

I wanted to make the character similar to Fiddler in the series but I also wanted it to be a relevant build that people can play and not be totally gimped. So i have not gone with any melee ability and stuck to ranged.

Some things about it:
Had to be human.
Had to be able to use Crossbows.
Had to have some sort of disable device etc. - Arti (Malazan Sapper sorta Haha)
Had to have some sort of explosive shots (munitions) - Runearms fit this perfectly.
Had to have some sort of Musical ability - Bard

Final Build is 14Bard/6Arti - Warchanter II/B.Engineer I - Alternatively 2 levels of Rogue can be subbed for 2 levels of bard as builder sees fit.

why points in str if you have no intention of using melee? Could put the points into int for more skills, or into charisma for higher skills (probably not needed either)
