half drow
6 bard/4 cleric/ 10 Lyric/ 10 Lyrist
you take 5 levels of bard then 4 levels of cleric.
after that you take 10 lyric progression bard and 10 lyrist progression cleric. lv30 you take that last level of bard.
What this does is give you 16 bard for 6th lv spells and 14 cleric gives you 7th lv spells. The bard song progression hits lv16 for songs but taking the last bard at 30 gives you full bard songs per day due to a OEI bug!
so you have all the bard buffs, bard songs, cleric buffs, all in a neat little power package. Ill get the progression chart up once I finalize it.

I would get 7th level cleric spells as soon as possible because I know from experience that they work well. I don't know what I can do with a bard. I just don't have the experience. I have a bard, but, I used it in party and his damage was the lowest in the party.

mmm true you could work the cleric angle first if you feel more secure in it. I feel more secure in bard is all. I put my cha at 16 to start and have been adding to wisdom over levels. Ill end up using a +2 wisdom something in the long run to have full spells. I went half drow for the level difference here but if you took a bard or cleric favored class race you could get a +1 LA or +2 LA and get the better stats. Grey Orc could do pretty well here since you could start with a 16 wisdom easy and put cha at 12. might be a good angle to work.
required water domain for evasion for this build. I suggest the war domain for the divine damage feat.
went longsword for this build but in theory you could do a warmace, greatsword, or greataxe for damage. I prefered the mithral heavy shield + battle caster.
No arcane failer Armored Battle Gish/Cleric. A mithral Fullplate if you have big dex. Or a mithral halfplate would also be acceptable for a different look. I was considering a Mithral Banded Mail just cause I want to be different.
After that you just need preqs of the PRCs and ways to burn those songs per day. Curse Song is a good plan here. I also suggest ways to burn your turn attempts. Lots of feats for that.

Aasimar would be my preferred race for the build. Star Elf would be a decent no-ECL alternative though Human is solid for the extra feat (since it's a feat heavy build) and skills. I was doing my class tests with a variation of this build.  I believe I went with Luck and Water to get Evasion and save on my level 1 choice, allowing me to take Spellcasting Prodigy for the boost on both spellbooks. Power Attack, Curse Song, Song of the Heart, Divine Might, Battle Dancer, Melodic Casting, Epic Inspiration, Song of Requiem, Hymn of Requiem, Extend Spell were the feats I took/planned to take. Combat Expertise and Deadly Defense were two I was trying to jam in somewhere. It also had the Healing Hymn alternate class feature instead of Fascinate for that extra healing boost. ;D |

6 Bard/10 CL/4 Lyric would have 20 uses per day.
Lyric gets more uses/day of bard song but does not learn new songs.

I could have gone songblade but the best PRC guy in town is going to focus on spells and feats for a while. He is a pretty cool guy and Im sure spells and feats need attention to so what you going to do right?  |
