This is DukeRuckley with his Female Dwarven Bard... Okay, this was a challenge! The mostly finalized stats (needs a once over to make sure I haven't screwed something up) are in her alias.

I thought I'd go through my thought process a little bit behind this challenge. After all, Dwarves are probably the race least suited for bard (-2 to the main stat, and +2 to two other stats that aren't very important to a bard).

I knew I wanted to focus on strength, as the archetype is an arcane duelist, which is sort of similar to a magus in feel. I could have gone with a more dexterous route, but thought that a dwarf would just feel stronger, so I potentially sacrificed a little bit of optimization for flavor there.

I also knew that I would need to have a decent Charisma (eventually a 16 to use the higher level spells). A 14 in charisma gets me up to level 10 before running into trouble with spells. Problem is, dwarves have an inherent -2 to Cha, so I would need to start with at least a 15 in the stat (which would drop it to 13).

I had originally come up with three different stat arrays to consider (in order STR-DEX-CON-INT-WIS-CHA):

1) 15-12-12-12-9-15
2) 15-13-13-13-9-14
3) 16-13-13-13-9-13

I was originally planning to use the third array and just make sure to increase charisma at each opportunity. But then I remembered that I could play a middle aged character and end up with a -1 to all physical stats and +1 to all mental. I came up with one more array, which is what I went with: 15-13-13-13-10-14

So the plan is to bump strength at the fourth level (the 14 gets me through 10th level, so I can just bump it up at 8th level and then again at 12th level, which will be enough).

The character is extremely not optimal, but an interesting experience nonetheless! She'll have some trouble until probably third level when I can take another feat (toughness looks especially important). I may swap out the extra performance feat for weapon focus right away... I'm not sure. I hope the use of the Dorn-Dergar helps bring her combat ability up a little and gives her an interesting take for a bard.

Imagine encounter a hefty female dwarf, singing at the top of her lungs to inspire her companions, while attacking you with a large ball of iron on a long chain that is infused with arcane energy!

I don't have a backstory put together yet, but if you would like one, let me know.

A very interesting Character

This game won't go pass level 10.
And might go as high as level 7.

Your making me think of a stereotypical Opera Singer.

The point buy is the following:

You're right, I screwed up somewhere (except buying a 7 actually gets you -4 points, not -3, so its not quite that bad).

New point buy:

16-14-11-11-7-15 (which is 10+5+1+1+(-4)+7 = 20)

Thanks for the look over, I'll go correct her alias now.

You can multi-class, but only after 3rd level and your random class must always be the highest level class (by 2 levels)

Just double checked the Bestiary, Aasimars have a +2 to WIS and CHA. that puts me right on a 20-point buy, unless you nerfed them a little and I missed that.

And this is what you get when you mix the randomizer and Robert.

My mistake, thought your human as I got a load of them oddly

No problem, everyone makes mistakes.

I like the background and player data

Thanks, AZ. I think you're going to have some hard choices ahead. Just seeing the two clerics, I like Adam's pretty well, too.

Some of these characters are going to be really interesting.

There is going to be 2 games (5 or 6 players each),

If there is a question of space, don't worry about me. I'll still probably finish the character just because I enjoy the process, but don't worry about fitting me into a game if you have to cut people. I have enough other games currently and there will be enough other opportunities down the road that it won't hurt me to sit this one out.

Thanks, I liked the background for yours, pretty nice integration of the birthmark trait there. Kinda funny, I built a second line cleric with enough combat ability to pull out of a scrape, and you built a front line tank. Guess that just shows that you can have a lot of variation even in the same class and archetype.
