Hey all,
I am a relatively new posted to the forums, although a long time lurker, and my friends and I are beginning the Kingmaker AP in a week or so. We have all organized our characters backgrounds to work with one another and I think we have a pretty solid party. We have a CG ranger who wishes to be the Kingdom's Marshall, a CG elven rogue, a NG wizard going conjuration spec, and a cleric/swashbuckler of Caiden Cailen (I think that is how it is spelled). Each of my friends have all agreed to let my character a bastard noble, who may or may not have ties to the lost Brevoy crown, become King and then the gaming group will of course rule together.
That being said my character is a Human Bard, we play high powered games using 2d6+6 stat generation and
My stats stand as thus
STR 18
DEX 16
CON 14
INT 18
WIS 14
CHA 20 (+2human)
I was hoping to make him a melee warrior who uses tactics and leadership to win the day. A more care-free version of King Arthur, dedicated to his friends and the principles of freedom and good, yet with a strong scathing wit!
Basically I am hoping the amazing people on these boards may be able to help me optimize my bard we begin at 1st level of course but build beyond would be most helpful. I love the concept of TWF and using my bard spells for battlefield control so any sugg that could help would be greatly appreciated.
And Thank You all for your help in advance.

Treantmonk has a guide to bards, but remember that Treantmonk specifically optimizes for damage or spell output and weighs all of his points on his exact focus for each build. So, his melee bard build is about doing damage to the exclusion of most other abilities.
Also, you beat my 2d6+6 record. 18 18 18 14 14 16? 71 point buy. :P
Thanks for the link- Treantmonk's builds are very helpful. Although he mentions he was not able to make a Two Weapon Fighting Bard work. I wonder with the above average stats I can... Anyone ever play a TWF Bard? And as Treantmonk says he doesn't feel prestige classes benefit the Bard class, I tend to agree but I have not played a Pathfinder Bard yet so I am unsure.
