So, I love the idea of the Skald, it's awesome to see a more martial take on the Bard which is probably my favorite class. The only problem is the standard raging song is worthless for so many characters. In comes the Spell Warrior, a character whose song is closer to inspire courage, though not quite as good, but perhaps more versatile.
Unfortunately you lose the Skald's best ability (IMO) Spell Kenning. Still your left with a character that can buff himself and his allies, give rage powers, is about as good as you can be at countering spells, is good at knowledge and skill rolls and gets both DR/- and Unchanny Dodge.
I am thinking making the Spell Warrior a switch hitter might be the way to go, but you lack the feats to make such a build great at either style of combat. What are your thoughts on Spell Warrior builds?
Go Greataxe and Power Attack, take Reckless Assault for +to-hit. Depent on Mirror Image, Blink, Displacement, Greater Invisibility for Defense, instead of AC. But dont dump it.
You dont have the amount of feats needed for a switch-hitter build to be even halfway competent in both. Especially as you are very STAT-strapped thanks to MAD.
The master performer and grand Master performer feats are fantastic for any skald and utterly bonkers on a spell warrior.
It's frustrating that Master Performer and Grand Master Performer are faction feats. I feel like they shouldn't be.
