Help with a bard


Advice


Hi all,

I'm currently running a halfling dawnflower dervish bard in Skull and Shackles. Level 3, going to level 4 next session. I have STR 9, Dex 18, CON 14, INT 10, WIS 9, CHA 15.

I want to be a very swashbuckling pirate, and would like to be a switch hitter. Guns may be found, but no archetypes or classes that grant gunslinging automatically. So far my feats are arcane strike, deadly aim, and dervish dance.

Right now I was thinking of taking two levels of Lore Warden at level 5 (to pick up quick draw and rapid reload), and level 9 (to pick up moonlight stalker after getting blind fight at level 7, and an int belt plus the 8th level INT increase).

I'm not sure however if this is the best method to be good with both a ranged weapon and sword (more concerned with range). Or maybe other classes would be better to get some of the cool feats I want.

I've also thought about going battle herald, but it would change up my feats some, and not sure overall I'm better off. Being the only bard in the party, it would be nice to help out my teammates as much as possible. What does the community think?


I've also been looking at the Steel Falcon prestige class. Seems useful in a pirate campaign, whereas we lean more on the good side, fighting slavers may seem common, and as far as I can tell it continues inspire courage progression for the dawnflower dervish.
