I'm asking because I really like how this gives some real battle capabilities to the bard without forcing it into the role of say a battle commander.
I already discovered a good archtype combo and I wanted to know more
How shall I put this?
I'll take 6 bardic Performance Charges, One lyrakien Azata, Add in a temper tantrum duet and watch the Fireworks.
The Duettist/Sound Striker combo is SCARY with the only issue being it burns through charges really quickly.
Oh and fortune teller is good too, getting rid of what i consider the bards more useless aspects while adding things that are really useful.
Lotus Geisha is nice, but if you're playing a PFS game it has the issue of being forced to play a geisha like character. Sure you can say you ran from Minkai, but idk that's just a personal gripe i have
Any others?

You could use the magician & sound striker archetypes to make your character look even less like a bard. Expanded repertoire could probably produce a non-bardic buff to make the weird words better.
Arcane Healer actually stacks with Sound Striker, if that interests you.
Yes, Duettist burns through Bardic Performance VERY quickly. Fun though, considering the familiar increases your effective range for your performance.
However, I prefer the Verbose Performer feat chain (Faction Guide, out of print). Or even the Fey Performance feat (in UW).
At 11th level, consider Discordant Voice feat to add 1d6 Sonic damage to the party weapon damage, including Weirdwords!

I actually do Detective
Bard Detective.
it gains Trapfinding abilities... and some other cool abilities.
Careful Teamwork (Su) is a nice buff... and I've even got True Confession (Su) to work in one scenario.
and most of the "normal" bardic uses of Performance aren't available... so it has them for use as attacks.
