There is a Sassy Archeologist Bard to Sarenre ustilising the official ruling that spells and damage dice add to weapon spell damage.
With good hope (who needs singing when your spell list has better morale bonuses), archeologist luck bonuses, improved crit and the dawnflower trait their melle damage is pretty good.
With a flaming sun shield thing up (another sarenre spell) their a pain to hit.
They have elemental spell and rime spell to entangle foes and get past fire immunity.
Now its Reach spell....
How would this and flame blade work?
Is it a 1 rd/pl ranged touch with a scimitars crit range?
How does vital strike or the critical feats interact with flame blade?
