    Default Help with my first bard

    I would like to make my next life a bard and i never tried one before.

    I wanted to use the snowstar, SB and shuriken expertise. Halfling and dex to damage. With snowstar and swashbuckler i get a crit range of 11-20x3. I would like to have trapper skills - i have never tried playing without. How high should my charisma be for my charm spells to work. What about perform - do i really need it or can i use songs anyway?

    The idea is to charm for crowd control but mainly shoot when there is only a couple of mobs. Then dismiss charm and kill of the rest.

    Have anybody tried this build?

    This is just an idea for now so sorry for not posting a complete build.

    Any advice on bard builds is appreciated.

    Note that crit multiplier bonuses aren't applying properly to throwing weapons, so this will be only 11-20/x2. You may find NF Spike is higher DPS at lvl 8 than Snowstar, as it does get 11-20/x3 crits.

    Off the top of my head:
    • Rog 2 / bard 5 / rgr 6 to start; remaining levels to taste.
    • Feats: PBS, Quick Draw, shuriken prof, Shuriken Expertise, Precision, IC:Thrown, IPS, OC, CA. [Rapid Shot & Prec Shot free from rgr lvls.]
    • Enhancements: at least 35 APs into Swashbuckler (usual T5 goodies), 11 APs into DWS (Sniper Shot), and 12 APs halfling (Skillful Thrower). That leaves 22 APs, which can go into Acrobat (Shadow Dodge), Assassin (SA Training, Killer), Mechanic (Sharpshooter, Fletching), or Harper (Know the Angles + Versatile Adept).
