I'm working on this build in an online server I play a lot in, and thought I might share it out for opinions.
Bard/Arcane Archer/Weapon Master; mastery in short sword, with weapon finesse feat. As most of you know, I love the AA class, nothing like peppering enemies from a distance, wearing them down until they close, but then was always deficient in melee combat skills. The idea here is to cover that. There will be no dev crit type feats on this one. All Dex based, and the idea is that I'll be fairly competent with melee combat, as well as rocking out in ranged. The bard class, aside from meeting the AA requirements provides good buffs, and a few offensive/disabling type spells; grease and cloud of bewilderment for example.
The current idea is bard 10, with spellcraft and perform maxed out, along with points in UMD, and tumble, 10 levels of weapon master, and fill out with AA. Dex will be as high as I can get it with stat points/feats as well. Opinions, comments, somebody done it before?
