Skald - Brd26 / F2 / Clr1 / PM1

Description
This is mainly a support build for parties in a low magical world with average combat ability when things get hairy. Given the right items, it can even excel in PVP.

Character Creation

 * The cleric level is taken for the domain feats Uncanny Dodge (Air) and Evasion (Water)
 * You can also take Divine Might by dropping Able Learner & Toughness and taking Power Attack & Divine Might as well as changing the Cleris Domain from Water to Earth. Only viable for modules with good +Charisma items.

Strengths:

 * It's really easy to level.
 * With Able Learner, you get lots of useful class skills. The only ones you don't get are Disable device, Open lock, Search, Set trap, Spot and Survival.
 * Inspire Courage +5 at Bard level 26. Parties would love to have you.
 * Gets Hymn_of_Requiem for PVP that damages enemies and heals for 5 rounds.
 * Lasts long in melee with some nifty Bard spells.

Weaknesses:

 * You BAB is low at only 21. Add Dex bonus, Cat's Grace, Inspire Courage and Greater Heroism : 21 + 8 + 2 + 5 + 4 = 40. And that's when you're buffed.
 * Your AC is also low. Add Base, Dex, Cat's Grace, Armor Skin and Bone Skin : 10 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 23.

Character Progression

 * Don't underestimate Heal. With enough ranks you can remove poisons and diseases even while in the thick of battle.
