FVS, Sorc or Cleric

[salmag]

I have a first life bard that I am looking to TR.

What class fits well with past life: Bard?

FVS, Sorc, Cleric

Should I go HElf, Human or Drow?

Also, any build ideas?

Thanks

bard past life unfortunately is very weak. You should just pick a class based on what you want to play rather than what fits your past life the best. If you plan to use a feat slot on your bard past life then wizard is your best choice. You can get +1 enchantment DC over other wizards. The reason this would not fit as well for a sorc is that they don't have enough feats to fit it in IMO. There are hardly any enchantment spells on the divine classes so no real need for that feat as really to get any benefit out of it you need to have

spell focus enchantment
greater spell focus enchantment
bard past life feat

otherwise you're not getting a real boost by selecting the bard past life feat vs what others can already get with the spell focus feats. So I think that maxing your enchantment DC will be the best use of the bard past life. I'd say Drow or human PM for the higher DC vs the other races. I've even seen some enchanters go fleshy AM but I personally don't like that combination. Although with the +1 cha skills you'll have a higher UMD than the other fleshy AM's so scrolls will be at least a little more reliable.

edit:// the other good choice for bard past life is..... bard
