Requesting help: PC Character Change lvl 5 fighter to ??

[Monkeykibble]

GM is allowing some of us in the party to change to another class/make modifications. I did have a fighter, but might change to a class thats useful in and out of combat.

I was considering Skald, Summoner or Bard. I know Summoner may take extra work (Summon Monster Stats/etc) but I'd be willing to put the effort in.

I have a knack for being a wordsmith, and the GM wanted me to have the option to play it out in-game.

My concern was being able to have the "WOW I'm a bad-ass!" in-combat moments that I did with the fighter, but not be useless out of combat either.

Any suggestions/builds/pointers are extremely appreciated~!

Extra info: Party consists of a War Priest(former cleric), Rogue, and two sorcerers, 1 is a MC'd barb and draconic bloodline sorc, other I believe is a nature sorc (has a bear companion)

Maybe a Swashbuckler? They can be good in social situations too.

Is your already existing party built more towards ranged or melee?

[Monkeykibble]

Only melee in the party are me (if I go skald), the war priest, the rogue and the 1 sorc's bear companion.

How about a paly? With that party build you really should have some one to take a hit, maybe an inquisitor? Both are good me lees if built right and might give you your I'm the face moments.

Does your GM allow Words of Power from Ultimate Magic? If so, that holds great potential. :D
