Primary goal: Scoundrel pl.
I also originally thought I'd pick up a standard bard pl and set myself on majority bard levels and swashbuckling. After a bunch of theorycrafting I finally checked what the standard bard pl was and realized why I'd done Stormsinger for bard pls in the past
So instead I'm going for a Dragonlord pl to pair with the Scoundrel pl.
It's probably more optimal to rework as a THF, but it has been roughly a decade since I did a swash so I'm going to stick with it. Will TR out of it after earning 42 seeds regardless.
Summary of the build so far:
12 Fighter, 8 Bard
STR based
Swashing with no offhand
heroic feats (7 standard + 7 ftr): tactics aura, damage aura, dodge, mobility, whirlwind, precision, imp crit, swfx3, offhand versatility, stunning blow, spring attack?, weapon focus?
epic feats: OC, weapon spec?, greater weapon focus? greater weapon spec?
Dlord: 35 points (t5 except wings)
VKF: 25 points (t4: 20 melee power, 5 ds, 2 dam)
Swash: 13 points (10 ds for no offhand, runspeed and 3/3 in en pointe - assuming it still has that good animation)
Warchanter: 7 points (skaldic rage, core2 + sprint)
which would leave me 2 rap and 1 general ap to spend.
I'll CC a level 15 dual augment dagger for heroics, switch to drow dagger at 21 which will crit at 13 x4.
Any thoughts? I expect someone to say "haxes" but there aren't any good sentient haxes; drow dagger will be roughly equal to a haxe and rapid slash + deep vkf is strong.
