I've been thinking about an Arcane Duelist bard for my next PFS character, and it's really starting to grow on me. I'm thinking of him as sort of an anti-caster, making use of the Disruptive and Spellbreaker bonus feats. But when I look at my spell options, I'm not seeing many spells that fit a melee bard. Bladed Dash and the Finale spells look good, but that's about it. Any suggestions?
Dance of hundred cuts, Heroism, Good Hope.
Important Feat: Step Up.
Race: Half Orc for Dark Vision and Falchion Prof.
Selection for my Level 15 build:
(The stat-enhancers are in because the build needs them for magic item creation)
Level 0: Detect Magic, Ghost Sound, Light, Message, Read Magic, Prestidigitation (Mage Hand)
Level 1: Beguiling Gift, Charm Person, Comprehend Languages, Feather Fall, Grease, Hideous Laughter
Level 2: Cacophonous Call, Cat's Grace, Eagle's Splendor, Heroism, Glitterdust, Mirror Image
Level 3: Arcane Concordance, Haste, Displacement, Good Hope, Purging Finale, (Remove Curse, See Invisibility)
Level 4: Dance of a hundred cuts (1r/l., +5 morale bonus: AC, attack & damage rolls, Acrobatics), Freedom of Movement (10 min. /level), Daze Mass (1r),
Level 5: Bard's Escape, Cure Light Wounds, Mass (d8+15); Greater Dispel Magic
Level 1:
Saving Finale (nice and you can use this on yourself)
Vanish
Timely Inspiration
Dazzling Blade (a way to use an unused swift action, fits a melee bard)
Level 2:
Silence (Anti-caster)
Level 3:
Good Hope (Nice buff)
Hast (Nice buff)
See Invisibility

Isn't Arcane Strike a swift action? Arcane Duelist recieves this as a bonus feat at first level I think.

Arcane Strike is indeed a swift action
