Hello everyone,
what do you think and what's your suggestions about my first Bard character ever?

I opted for the Arcane Duelist archetype because I always played melee characters; I decided for a Str build.

Janex Elice - HalfElf Bard Arcane duelist 3 (roll dice picking)

STR 19 (+2 half elf)
DEX 14
CON 14

INT 12
WIS 10
CHA 14

Feats:

1st lvl
Exotic Weapon Proficiency - Katana (Ancestral Arms alternate racial traits from ADVPG for hal elf), Arcane Strike (Arcane Duelist Bonus), Improved initiative.

2nd lvl
Combat Casting (Arcane Duelist Bonus)

3rd lvl
Weapon Focus (Katana), Dazzling display (Bonus Feat granted by left arm loss - thanks to my GM)

Spells:

1st lvl
Cure light wounds, Silent Image, Charme Person, Vanish

My priority is to pick Allegro (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/spells/allegro.html#_alle gro) as a second level spell and, when reached the 5th level, with arcane bond, craft a +1 Keen Katana and by reaching new lvls make it flaming, frost etc.

Any suggestions for the rest?

Consider that it's not a power play build, so you can include any advice to make it solid but no Frost-Cheese-like combo stuff, thanks!

p.s.: I'm sorry for my English, I tried to be as clear as I could ;)

Thanks in advance
