people wonder about this archetype so here is a detailed build.
Req: PFS legal, 20 pt Abil buy, 5th Lvl $10500 gear then later 11th Lvl $82000 gear. For this initial build I’m going human for simplicity and the extra feat and skill ranks don’t hurt at all...
Comments - LoL - you are better off with a standard Bard and way better off with a standard Wizard (diviner or enchanter) if you are going into this style of play (even sinking ranks in perform). Sure, it won't be amazing skill checks but you have no abilities tied to them 8^) and if others assume you're a bard...
IMO Familiars are a trap for classes that don't get them. It takes a trait and 3 feats to get an Impvd Fmlr without the usual familiar benefits... So - purchase a war-trained mount and pet, use blood sentinel:T3, or take a level in wizard to get spells & BondObj/Fmlr. Otherwise Samsaran and Mythic Past Lives is a good option.
I've heard people say "Bards aren't skill moneys"... really, that style just makes them worse than rogues.
With this archetype if things are dire you can speak if needed as the benefits aren't going to ruin your adventuring.
Magical Lineage is an investment that matures at 4th level. A drawback of PF1 is planning ahead as Retraining is overly costly.

trivial mistakes;
Magical Lineage pays off at 5th level.
Brdc Pfrm top listing should be Fascinate(aud & vis) Pfrm(any) rather than (prcsn, wind).
someday my fingers will just type mw rather than mwk...
If you find the details or abbreviations tear inducing I want you to have someone(besides yourself) check your PC designs... it's just how it goes went you draw back the rule o cool curtain and wade into the mire of details... the short published descriptions have you look up a lot of the details and GMs miss a lot of the options/nuances {power attack, spellbooks are classic examples}.
now I have to scale up to 11th level
