Was considering trying out a bard here, and am undecided about wither to go EDM or not. I never found much need for EDM and hate that is so short lived. But with a base Cha of 22 +8 from cloak maybe it would be useful? Im on the fence about whether to bother with BG/EDM or just use my feats elsewhere . . .
Anyone care to give input?

It's worth it. You'll get plenty of bang for buck because that 22 base charisma will also turn into +10 deflection AC from Nixie's Grace, +10 dodge AC from divine shield, and +20 divine damage per hit from EDM. Strongly recommend including at least 4 RDD to help meet the stat reqs though.
What's the build anyway?

just the person I was hoping to respond  was thinking of Bard 16/RDD 10/ BG 3 (or 4)/PM 1 (or not at all but wouldnt mind the 2 extra AC) dont know if I am going to bother with BG4/Divine shield tho, was thinking it is way too short acting - 10 rounds wont help me much in Mirh  |

was playing around with variations of Bard/RDD 10 with and without EDM . . was hoping to get AB ~ 60 at lvl 30 and AC in mid 60's (fully buffed) but im finding that may not be possible with the above build (s) - ending up low 50s AB, and mid/high 50s AC (without Ks pack installed). May have to re-think things . . .

You might look at a bard cleric and canaith lyricist. You can get some pretty good synergies. Plus, you don't have to give up your beloved cleric  I think cosper has a level 30 along that line. Curse song can make up some for a lack of bab. I keep thinking that I want to make Deekin. He is pretty much my favorite NPC of all time. "Yeah, Boss, Maybe you is right. Deekin is like a fine wine... I gets better the more I sits in your cellar." Who doesn't need a faithful kobold companion? Doom, Doom, Doom! |

I had that build planned out a long time ago, but am trying to diversify a bit Couldn't find a battle bard build without cleric that got me interested, and once i was adding cleric, cleric/bard/FM/canaith lyricist is hard to beat Right now I'm am doing a TWF, non- buffer likely similar to your build except I'm going WM instead of Swash . . . we will see and Deekin? LOL, yeah he was an awsome NPC |

Yeah my can lyrist/bard is my fav char and prob the most solid. There's a couple of things I'd do differently now to make it even better but can't recall what they are at this point. Been busy with work and new spawn so not really playing much at all.
Cleric really is hard to shake it's such an overpowered class and even one level in it is worth it for the domains.
The main issue with EDM is the instanced dungeons and yeah it doesn't hold up long in Mirh. There's a domain (undeath i think it is) that increases your turn undead numbers but it's only 4. It would be nice if K found a reason to at least double this number as an extra 8 EDM would go a long way in instanced dungeons and make taking the domain actually worth it.
