Can you layout how?

Stats
Enhancements
Leveling


Is the only difference the 5 bard levels going to 4 fighter and 1 rogue levels? What are you getting vs what are you losing?

At a brief glance it seems a couple extra feats (lvl 8, 10 ftr), 1d6 SA, some extra hp/bab

Lose access to lvl 12 cores for bard, inspire greatness and song of freedom - lvl 4 bard spells, probably some overall skill pts

Any other differences from the Parody?

for max dps u need very many feats, 2 feats is very helpful to adding shield bash chain, whitch is +20% shield bash, 1 rogue is for another sa and skill points, why not, bard 8 or fighter 11 bring nothing to damage or defense. I think song of freedom and inspire greatness are good buffs , but i am not focused to party buffing. Overall its very near to Parody build, only with slightly changes, more focused on meele damage.

Ok the first thing I see is not taking the first level rog The only time I would ever multiclass a build with rog in it and not take it 1st is for iconic builds and the 2nd level gives evasion 2 rog first I would think that a better start would be 2 level rog them bard 1 and 1 fighter

Last three levels to rogue is for skill points distribution, after 6 levels fighters, where you dont have enough skill points to fulling skills as perform, umd, heal, balance. Evasion isnt necessary through heroic levels, even later. Maybe first level to rogue isnt bad idea, but last two is needed, but i dont have counted skill points distribution very accurate.
