This one is kind of similar to my other bard build using Aleithian Dwarf, but it focuses on getting high charisma and then using a paladin splash instead of spending a buttload of points in Str and Dex. I'm currently playing both-- the original is currently in LL, and this one is sub-20 (named "Tryp Yorke, Baritone"). I wonder which I'll like better?
I discovered that the Winter Is Coming epic is just... meh. Especially since my original has a pretty low Charisma, the radius is very small, so you have to run right into the middle of a mob for it to be useful. Even though this one has high Cha, I ditched Winter is Coming for Healing Spirit. I suppose I'll find out if that was a good decision or not. I could also take Abjur epic (warding) instead.
Here's the original (Aleithian Muse, named "Sing Sing"):

QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS
- Could I take the Paladin splash earlier to get my saves up while leveling?
- Is Healing Spirit the right choice for me?
- Does anyone have a better subrace they'd like to trade?
