Bard Help.

[A_Shadow_of_Life]

I generally dislike Bards. I generally optimize for Butt kicking.

This time, I am playing a bard.

We're using the Elite array for stats, no flaws, no traits, mostly any material that isn't homebrew (3rd party is generally allowed though).
No bloodlines, no LA, no money atm.
We're level.. 4.

Bard help please! Seeking to my skills, spells, and bardic music decently good.. any help but be highly appreciated, we're playing tomorrow.. ^.^

Hm. Maybe bard 9/sublime chord 2/virtuoso +8
Shamelessly copied from here. Where your search should probably lead you.

Edit: Sorry, accidently linked the second page. More interesting stuff on the first, of course.

And how are we getting 13 ranks at lvl9?
I really like:
Bard7/paladin2/bard8/sublime chord10
It plays kinda different at every level after 7th.  12 should be the most fun, it will have a gish flavor.
inspire courage with:
words of creation
inspirational boost
Cadv horn
badge of the hero

+5 attack,damage,saves vs. fear at level 1 caps at +7 i think

I really like "Horn of Resilience" from MIC also.

Feats:
Devoted performer, Melodic casting, snowflake wardance, extra smite and maybe jack of all trades if you're using bardic knack.

Sorry, there's one level of Virtuoso missing.

Corrected: bard 9/virtuoso 1/sublime chord 2/virtuoso +8

half elf bard2/marshal1/warlock1

innvocation: beguiling influence

Diplomacy is pretty much your bitch now
