Warchanter

[Sogrin]

Thinking of making a warchanter. throwing out part of the build for any suggestions. The plan is to have the buffing power of a bard, then bring the hurt in melee with THF

16/4 Horc Bard/Fighter 32pt build
STR 20
DEX 8
CON 16
INT 6
WIS 8
CHA 12

Levelups in strength.
Perform, UMD and Concentration maxed, with leftover skill points into balance

Feats:
1 Weapon Focus Slashing
3 Power attack
6 Toughness
9 Extend Spell
12 Cleave
15 Great Cleave
18 Improved Crit Slashing
21 Inspire Excelence
24 Overwhelming Critical
F1 THF
F2 ITHF
F3 GTHF

My sustain will come from wand/scrolls (with 75% bonus from enhancements)

I think the build should function okay as it is. I'd probably throw away THF feats for something.

Either for Empower Healing / Quicken for easier healing. Or Fighter 2/Ranger 2 trying to fit in Manyshot.

[Sogrin]

personally I feel that throwing in extra heeling or manyshot will spread the build too far away from it's focus.

Being half orc, the THF line synergises well with the orc enhancements, which can be pushed further with twists from, or being in, the FotW ED.

Considering that scroll/wand healing doesnt benefit from metamagic, having a high concentration score, and the 4 tiers of wand/scroll improvement enhancements i feel is enough healing to get by in a pinch without detracting from the focus of the build.

I cant help but think you may run the risk of focusing on melee DPS too much over survivability and adaptiveness.

You can't heal with scrolls/wands if you are swinging a THF weapon. U cant dps if u are not swinging a THF weapon. See my point?

No evasion and no obvious ranged secondary attack for those times when u just cant cut it in the front rank.

Let us know how it goes. GL
