Nixie's Grace - Stacks with Inner Beauty. Greater Dispel Magic - Nice getting this with a spell level discount Greater Mirror Image - Big durability improvement
Inner Beauty - Boost Charisma with a good duration Ruin Delver's Fortune - Boost saving throws by Charisma, which can be absurdly high with Bard spells like. Heroics (Lyric Thaumaturge) - Give out Fighter feats. Loresong - Don't have this one but worth mentioning for awesome skills Improvisation - 2 x CL points to be spent on attack rolls, skill checks, and ability checks Immediate Assistance - Re-roll skill checks Inspirational Boost - +1 to Inspire Courage Just felt like worth mentioning for anyone else who finds this thread looking for similar advice.įor spells, my Bard/War Weaver/Sublime Chord uses these quite often, but it is worth noting we don't have standard WBL or magic items, so YMMV: But I get the impression you are pretty stuck with Bard 10/Sublime Chord 10. Or Crusader/Warblade 2 Jade Phoenix Mage 1. You can do things like Paladin 2, War Weaver 1. So "Bard" 7 (read: anything that advances Bard casting) works fine. You can get away with dropping 3 spellcaster levels before Sublime Chord. The Fear Handbook will have more information on that type of build.Īs ZamielVanWeber mentioned, going something like Lyric Thaumaturge is great.
#Sublime chord 3.5 plus
Inspire Awe plus Haunting Melody, combined with Intimidate and Never Outnumbered plus Imperious Command plus Fearsome armor (DotU version), a low level area effect spell like Sound Burst with Fell Frighten Spell, even Dreadful Wrath if you can qualify for it, will disrupt opponents enough that your party can just walk all over them.
Something like Bard 8/ Dread Witch 1/ Nightmare Spinner 1/ Sublime Chord 2/ Dread Witch 4/ Nightmare Spinner 4 would be good, take the first level of each of those classes as early as possible for the class skills. You could also go with an Inspire Awe + fear effects build. If you don't want to use Virtuoso, a few single-level dips in something like Mindbender or Dragon Devotee can be extremely useful. Regarding the level build, you don't really need more than eight Bard levels, so Bard 8/ Virtuoso 2/ Sublime Chord 2/ Virtuoso 8 is typically the go-to build. You can pick up point-blank shot and precise shot and use a bow early, and those are also useful for ray attacks. There aren't a lot of feats you really need for this build, so you can easily go for some Inspire Courage optimization for a strong contribution in the early levels, and it's still useful later on with Melodic Casting to keep it active while casting spells. Obtain Familiar and Improved Familiar can be useful, especially since the familiar can use your UMD ranks. Versatile Spellcaster is pretty good for getting more higher level spells. Lyric Spell is pretty good, especially if you're going Bard 10/ SC 10 as you'll have tons of daily uses of bardic music.
