Hello I am nearly finished creating a new bard for the adventure hell's rebels. Going with a thundercaller bard muse-touched aasimar to fit the liberating wandering theme.
The group has a wizard, melee paladin, sin eater inquisitor support healer, and ranger/rogue.
with a 15 point buy i was considering the stats as follows:
12 str 14 dex 13 con 12 int 9 wis 17 cha
I'm typically bad for wanting to do too much, and find it difficult to stick with the K.I.S.S idea but I'm trying!
I want to take leadership and be able to contribute to combat, party face type person. for traits I'll be taking natural born leader and birthmark.
3rd level feat will be deific obedience for milani and then taking evangelist once i qualify. Considering taking a level of Oracle for either
the lore mysteries sidestep or nature for natures whisper to get cha to ac and either to reflex saves or cmd. not sure which is better,
and lore also has cha to knowledge checks which would probably be better if i still had bardic knowledge but that gets swapped.
Using a rapier and kukri and shortbow (avg starting gold) would best combat feats be weapon finesse, point blank shot, precise shot?
other feats I've taken interest in are discordant voice, Lingering Performance, divine protection, angelic blood, angel wings,
prodigy, skill focus perform, spellsong, craft wonderous item (tuned bowstring) spell focus enchantment, greater spell focus enchantment.
Prophet storyline feat.
Spell ideas are as follows
cantrips : 4 spark, prestidigitation, dancing lights, unwitting ally
1st level spells : 2 saving finale, liberating command

Ok...first the CHA to AC and Reflex is usually done on a character who dumps Dex to put points elsewhere. You can go this route but allow me to point something out.
My advice:
7 levels of bard (or evangelist PRC.). The goal is move action performance.
Then grab up 4 levels of Dragon Disciple for +4 Str, more NA, D12 HD, bite/claws, breath weapon, and feats. If you go more bard or DD is up to you as both are good choices. I never recommend more than 8 levels DD.
Grab a Spear and combat reflexes. Drop CHA abit and pump up Str to 14-15 range. With a decent Str you can use reach tactics.
Another point...with DD and bard buffs your survialblity will be good enough to not need the Oracle dip as you can rely on base saves and your buffs for protection.
Another Suggested feat:
Flagbearer. Paired with banner of the ancient kings increase performance by +4 levels and increase flagbearer. At which point you can buy a wand of moment of Greatness and have it up for every fight for the entire group.
