So ages ago I had a crazy idea. A halfling bard that dual wields bastard swords. Littleteapot was my last 28 point build I ever made and I honest to god had a blast playing her(even though she only reached level 10) and now the idea has come back to me.
Since I purchased epic destinies I'm feeling a little more confident in weird builds and I actually believe something like this could work, while still being fun to play. That's the main goal of the build plan after all, a fun build that takes people by surprise.
This is the idea I have in mind currently. I want to be able to do traps as well as any other rogue while having bardic crowd control, and a little extra melee damage. Y'know because she doesn't carry around giant swords for nothing!
The concerns I have is that: That's a lot of melee feats when I know I'm not going to be able to hit really awesome damage. Could I perhaps swap out GTWF for extend spell or another spellcasting feat?Code:Character Plan by DDO Character Planner Version 03.16.01 DDO Character Planner Home Page Sillybuns the Curious Halfling
