For those interested ( hopefully the rest of EU Noob in hell team) here is my proposed open bard build:
Build will be purely a support caster bard, dropping UUU (PT2 should be fine for
Tia,unless the DM spawns randoms) and possums,(Hopefully teamwork with rezzes
will be just as effective), in favour of I what I think will be more useful epics
for this event. The awful AC won't allow me to stand in the middle of a mass of
mob's anyway with Dirge or UUU.
No idea what items I'll have yet so cant really project final stats., but will be
looking for some robes and a torch of some kind. As this only has 9/10 spell
slots per level, my role will be sing/curse/hide with epics/loots when needed -
spells will be poor mostly anyway.
Creation
Base Class Dwarf
Open sub Azer - 50% fire imm / 50% cold vulnerability - no stat changes.
I decided the 50% fire imm was worth more than 1 or 2 points of charisma from an
open subby for this.

Legendary Bard
Legendary Character
Had plenty of skill points at 60 to max all the above and more.
I may decide to re-arrange a couple of levels to finish level on 40 Pally, might
save a couple of minutes changing back to chaotic.
Naked Saves/AC:
AC:24 :
Fort :38
Reflex :42
Will :46
So ended up with the following epics - no LSF spell foci though for spells.
Abjuration - Chant of Warding
Conjuration - Healing Spirit
Divination - Winter is coming
Evocation - Cry of Heavens
I would point out this is exactly the opposite epic selection of my normal bard,
so I don't have a great deal of knowledge about thier use, but seem appropriate
for the task.
Spell Selection:
1: Mage Armour, Magic Weapon,Expedition Retreat,POA, Grease
2: Cloud of Bewilderment, Clang, GV, Endure Elements, Eagles Splendor
3: Disp, Keen, Haste, C/C, Cure Serious Wounds
4: Legend Lore, Cure Critical Wounds, Rainbow Pattern, Stone Shatter
5: EV, Healing Circle, Mind Fog, Improved Heroism, Gembomb
6: Ice Storm, Energy Buffer, Least Spell Mantle, Mass C/C
I'm open to changing the spell selection if the party has requests.
Looking for any input on improving the above, thx all.
