Anyone have a character they'd be willing to share? I'm dropping in for a guest appearance in Age of Ashes and don't have time to build this character.
Optimized, non-optimized...whatever you've got would be appreciated!

Do you have the paid version of Pathbuilder? I could shoot you a link to a great singing and spellcasting bard.

AC 29, Fort +20, Ref +20, Will +21; Resolve
HP 151
Unexpected Shift Trigger You would take damage from an attack, spell, or other effect. Your supernatural connection sometimes causes you to phase from reality when under threat, disappearing for split seconds before reappearing—often surprising you as much as your enemies. Roll a DC 16 flat check. On a success, you gain resistance to all damage equal to your level against the triggering effect, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to saving throws against that effect until the start of your turn, and you gain the dazzled condition for 1 round.
Speed 35 feet
Quickened Casting (Concentrate, Metamagic) Frequency once per day If your next action is to cast a cantrip or a spell that is at least 2 levels lower than the highest level spell you can cast, reduce the number of actions to cast it by 1 (minimum 1 action). Special This can only be used on a cantrip or spell from the class matching the one you gained this feat from.
Bon Mot (Auditory, Concentrate, Emotion, General, Linguistic, Mental, Skill) Prerequisites trained in Diplomacy
You launch an insightful quip at a foe, distracting them. Choose a foe within 30 feet and roll a Diplomacy check
against the target's Will DC. Critical Success The target is distracted and takes a -3 status penalty to Perception
and Will saves for 1 minute. The target can end the effect early with a retort to your Bon Mot. This can either be a
single action that has the concentrate trait or an appropriate skill action to frame their retort. The GM determines
which skill actions qualify, though they must take at least 1 action. Typically, the retort needs to use a linguistic
Charisma-based skill action. Success As critical success, but the penalty is -2. Critical Failure Your quip is
atrocious. You take the same penalty an enemy would take had you succeeded. This ends after 1 minute or if you
issue another Bon Mot and succeed.
Goggles of Night (Invested, Magical, Transmutation) Activate Interact; Frequency once per day; Effect
Rotating the lenses 90 degrees, you gain darkvision for 1 hour.
Pathfinder's Pouch (Abjuration, Extradimensional, Invested, Magical) Activate Interact; Effect You switch the
pouch to allow access to its extradimensional space instead of its normal space, or vice versa. This lasts until
you next activate it. Items in the other space are inaccessible and hard to find until you switch the pouch back.
Horn of Blasting (Evocation, Sonic) Activate Interact; Frequency once per round; Effect When you activate the
horn by blowing into it with destructive intent, you create a blast note targeting one creature or object within 30
feet. The blast deals 3d6 sonic damage. (DC 28 basic Fortitude save).
Horn of Blasting (Evocation, Sonic) Activate Interact; Frequency once per day; Effect You can blow even
louder to create an intense blast wave in a 30-foot cone that deals 8d6 sonic damage. Each creature attempts a
DC 28 Fortitude save with the following effects. Critical Success The creature takes no damage. Success The
creature takes half damage. Failure The creature takes full damage and is deafened for 2d6 rounds.
Occult Known Spells DC 30, attack +20

Counter Performance Area 60-foot emanation Your performance protects you and your allies. Roll a Performance check for a type you know: an auditory performance if the trigger was auditory, or a visual one for a visual trigger. You and allies in the area can use the better result between your Performance check and the saving throw.
Inspire Courage Area 60-foot emanation Duration 1 round You inspire your allies with words or tunes of encouragement. You and all allies in the area gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves
against fear effects.
Lingering Composition You add a flourish to your composition to extend its benefits. If your next action is to cast a cantrip composition with a duration of 1 round, attempt a Performance check. The DC is usually a
standard-difficulty DC of a level equal to the highest-level target of your composition, but the GM can assign a different DC based on the circumstances. The effect depends on the result of your check. Critical Success The composition lasts 4 rounds. Success The composition lasts 3 rounds. Failure The composition lasts 1 round, but you don't spend the Focus Point for casting this spell.
Dirge of Doom Area 30-foot emanation Duration 1 round Foes within the area are frightened 1. They can't reduce their frightened value below 1 while they remain in the area.
Inspire Heroics You call upon your muse to greatly increase the benefits you provide to your allies with your inspire courage or inspire defense composition. If your next action is to cast inspire courage or inspire defense, attempt a Performance check. The DC is usually a very hard DC of a level equal to that of the highest-level target of your composition, but the GM can assign a different DC based on the circumstances. The effect of your inspire courage or inspire defense composition depends on the result of your check. Critical Success The status bonus from your inspire courage or inspire defense increases to +3. Success The status bonus from inspire courage or inspire defense increases to +2. Failure Your inspire courage or inspire defense provides only its normal bonus of +1, but you don't spend the Focus Point for casting this spell.
Additional Feats Additional Lore, Dirge of Doom, Esoteric Polymath, First World Magic, Fleet, Fortutious Shift, Incredible Initiative, Inspire Heroics, Lingering Composition, Magical Shorthand, Multifarious Muse, Quick Identification, Toughness, Versatile Performance, Virtuosic Performer, Wellspring Gnome
Additional Specials Great Fortitude, Multifarious Muse (Polymath), Muses (Maestro), Signature Spells, Wellspring Magic Type (Arcane)
Notes:
No carried weapons, Equipment is minimal and in the pouch, Armor is +1 resilient studded leather. Feel free to re-choose gear, but Horn of Blasting is key (it's a 1-handed instrument with two good activations). Choose some consumables before play. Also check with DM for Spiritual Amanuensis before play - it's an uncommon spell that's awarded around this level in Age of Ashes. If disallowed, replace with fly, dim door or enervation.

Question for you. How are you getting DC30 and +20 spell rolls on the innate cantrips? Wouldn't those only have trained proficiency or am I missing an important detail?
Edit: Nevermind! The answer is right there plain as day in the rules on innate spells. Don't know how I missed it in past readings.

I have a better question now. What's with the heightened Calm Emotions? According to Archives of Nethys, that spell has no heightened effects.
Any spell with a duration can be worth heightening, because the higher level automatically makes it harder to dispel.
