Thank you all so much for you're ideas. I'm thinking that I'll take a mash of what a lot of you are saying.

Also I talked to my DM and he said he would "look the other way on the encumbrance issue within 1-2 lbs so I'm thinking.

Elf: Str 7, Dex 15(+2), Con 16(-2), Int 10(+2), Wis 7, Cha 17
Human/Half-Elf: Str 7, Dex 16, Con 15, Int 10, Wis 7, Cha 17
Could put 2 points in Str(if eventually switching to bow), put in Cha or
make Cha 16 (+2) and Dex 17

I think I'm gonna stick to a Crossbow till the move/standard action to load gets annoying (unless rapid reload is worth it) then I'll probably go Shortbow (Longbow if Elf). If I switch I'll probably have put a point in strength to decrease the penalty.

For Feats I'm thinking Point Blank Shot, Extra Performance or Arcane Strike?

For Race I'm Really Unsure if I should go Elf, Half-Elf, or Human.

The benefit of human is I could take Point Blank Shot and Arcane Shot and get +1 to hit and +2 to damage within 30ft (only +1 damage beyond 30ft) whenever I have an available free action. Although with this setup I'm only going to get 7/8 rounds of Bardic Performance a day with my Level 1 Spells. While Extra Performance would put me at 13/14 performances...

So I'm a First Time PF Player. We are playing core only since me and 3 people are new to the Table Top RPG style and the two others are new to PF. Other party Members (6 man Party) are Dwarf Fighter (Melee/Tank), Halfling Rogue(Range), Dwarf Ranger (Range/Melee), Gnome Druid(Heals/Magic), Half-Elf Sorceress (Magic).

My 4d6 drop rolls came out as:
7 (2,2,2,3)
15 (6,6,3,2)
7 (2,2,3,2)
16 (6,6,4,2)
17 (6,6,1,5)
10 (5,2,3,2)

I don't know what to do with my 7s because they are so low, and since we are only playing core I can't figure out what to do. Aren't Bards supposed to be pretty balanced?

I read Treantmonk's Bard Guide and he says 7 is fine for Wis but do I dump Int?

Help and Advice Really Needed and Appreciated...
