Some basic info at level 60 fully buffed:
AB: 26 BAB + 29 STR + 3 Feats + 20 bonus = 78
AC: 10 basic + 12 tumble + 2 armor skin + 4 RDD + 27 armor + 19 shield + 16 deflection + 16 natural + 20 dodge = 126 (136 with IE)
HP:
1120 for Dragonblooded
1000 for White Dragon
Saves:
Fortitude: 27 levels + 21 stats (18 WD) + 4 feats + 20 items = 72 (69 WD)
Reflexes: 24 levels + 15 stats (14 WD) + 4 feats (8 WD) + 20 items = 63 (66 WD)
Will: 28 levels + 14 stats + 4 feats + 20 items = 66 (both)

Compare:
Dragonblooded has:
More HP, possibly more spells (higher charisma), better fortitude
White Dragon has:
Higher Reflexes, 65% immunity to cold

Build with:
Immunity to fire
Nice AB
Nice AC
Mediocre saves
Bardsong!
Some spells for oneself/others
Cool damage

Hmm, I guess I won't use my Dragonblooded again because White Dragon seems to be better

UPDATED: modified some feats for better saves

This is very interesting build. really nice AB, AC and saves with STR build!! unfortunately this build cant use epic spells. even normal spells and bard song sucks compared to other (almost) full bard builds. But if u could post picture of this and give little more details about spells etc... I would appreciate it!

[helbrax]

I created a build almost exactly like this except I used Fighter levels instead of Paladin to fit a few extra feats in. Paladin is probably a wiser choice for the saves.

I had a lot of fun with it but only got it to 20 or so. It was nice when I was alone, but when partying with a real bard and a real mage, my buffs were outclassed and I felt like a fighter with less hp and less feats.

Thats what I thought... This build is great for soloing thats for sure, but is this server for soloers? NO.

Same for me. When the new epics arrived, I realized there are much better bard builds so if there is a bard like that you are just normal tank without special abilities. (the truth is said above, unfortunatelly)
