That said, I still want to do a high-level boss encounter with a party of bards at some point, each using a different perform to boost the whole group. Probably need a couple to be at APL-1 to avoid horrifying pain.I actually tried that recently. it wasn't as effective as I thought it would be. If it had been a bunch of bards all boosting a fighter it might have done more. But all the boosting still didn't bring them up to the level of a martial character.
The bards were still dangerous but it was actually because of all the spell casting. Cast 5 confusion spells on the opening round. Even with an emphasis on save modifiers, some one will fail on 1 of them. Cast 5 sonic screams (no one typically has resistance to sonic) that adds up to a LOT of area damage. Etc...
Now you've put in my head this vision of an Evil Medieval Heavy Metal Rock Band enemy party (alternatively, Kung Fu Hustle-style "assassins"). See (and maybe necro) this thread . . .
A group that was more effective than expected was a group of cavaliers. All of them bestowed different teamwork feats on all the others (and their mounts). So they all had 10 teamwork feats active in addition to all the rest of their mounted combat charging danger.
Now we're talking . . . .

If you are interested THIS is the thread where I built the group.

Bosses lasting more than 4 encounters should seek immediate divine intervention.

Get an eldritch knight boss(anti pally/sorc/ek boss?). Give him still spell so he can wear full plate. Have him scry on the party on the tactics they use. Then add buffs to flavor. I.e. fireball crazy caster? Resist energy/prot energy (fire). Have beat sticks? Mirror image, longarm, enlarge person, fly to stay out of reach(make sure dungeon allows). Stay invisible (greater invisibility for lulz) so you can get the jump on the party. Don't forget your ring of evasion!
