Howler DragonDisciple build

[Sapphire [SL]]

Hello,
Am asking here as I could not find anything in the builds, if anyone has a good solid Black DD build from the Howler subrace ?

Prefer something along the lines of Bard 3 WM 7 BDD 30(50), would like to go for a Katana as weapon of choice.
Decent saves around 70 or better. Not to bothered about disarming. Just a very durable tank that hits solidly and hard.

Plus any recommendations of suitable gear/artifacts I should be looking for to incorp in the build.

Many thanks in advance.

I hate to say it, but you can't get both 7WM and 30BDD on a Howler, since RDD requires 8 Lore (Level 5) and WM requires +5 BAB. This kind of build can only be done with one of Tinker Gnome, Dragonblooded, and Salamander (any of which can take RDD at Level 2). If you want to make a Howler RDD, you'll need to take Fighter or Paladin levels instead (I recommend Fighter, due to Howler's CHA penalty).

Cha penalty (-5) is not a big deal for XDD builds due to the free boosts in Cha (+6) you'd still get a decent saves bonus going Pally (or BG if you could work it in).

I had forgot about the 8 lore, guess I'll have to look towards 1 sorc 9 pally version then. I see why so many go with tinker gnome salamanda and dragonbloods with their inate bonus to lore. Just thought it would be nice to have the Ka as well the WM's have.

Thanks for the fast advice, any of the builds I should look at in the RDD builds section that you'd recommend ?

Am not too worried about the penalty on CHA, I can offset that against the gains from CON.
