Drop the fighter and eldritch knight, go magus. Also, to much splitting of caster stats. I would go sorcerer and oracle for music thuerge so that was you do not have to split your caster stats to much.

I am stealing that idea Magus.

I like to have scrolls of the Circle spells. Always carry a teleport around or two.

Bard with the arcane duelest so you get the arcane strike feat. You will also get some cantrips and grease.

258. Sometimes the best way to open a door is to knock.
259. If you are in the middle of an empty room, and then say you are "stealthing" to the other side do not be surprised when everyone looks at you weird.
260. Sometimes when you find a book in the lair of an evil wizard, its just a normal book.

Lets say a guy just dropped dead of a heart attack, no pulse, stopped breathing. Now this wizard is right beside him but does not have the right spells to deal with this. So, in a moment of desperation, he casts animate dead and tells the new zombie to have its heart beat. Can we give that specific of a command to a zombie? Would this restore the guy to a long enough life to get him to a healer for a proper healing? Or since he now has a working ticker and is alive again does animate dead stop working on him and thus he goes "Oh darn, my heat just stopped again, I tell you, this is the most annoying thing ever." My outside the box thinking for the day.

If I remember correctly the bard does not need that high of a charisma to get the highest spells on the list, so I would drop the charisma to 15 make the con 14 and put the rest in strength. That way if you do need to pull out a sword and start hitting things it will be less nail biting. When you get the stat increase at level 4 put that into charisma. If you have a dedicated healer on your team I would drop cure light wounds and pick up grease instead,if you want to cast cure light wounds, pick up a wand.

It might also depends on which diety the ranger whorships. What is prayer for one may be nothing to another.

A wizard gave a familiar a touch spell and then died, does the familiar still have the ability to deliver it? What if the spell is animate dead, does the newly created zombie fall under the control of the familiar?

Every bard spell has a verbal component (song, recitation, or music). You could argue that since he is spell casting using music, the somatic component is the fiddle playing.
