I know it sounds like an oximoron but I need to make the best bard there can be. I tend to have very little experiance when it comes to casting charecters and such, I typically use sneaks. I intend to make a bard that typically stays away from close combat. Other than that I need serious help making a bard that can survive and be fun in a party of a half-elf 10Wizard/10Cleric, a halforcBarb20, and a human samuria. Here are the books I can use:
Complete Series(Except mage)
All the Race's of Books
Sandstorm
Stromwreck
FrostBurn
Core Rulebooks
PHB2
Unearthearth Arcana(my DM said I could use his LOL)
ToB
HoB
MoI
Forgotten Realms
PH to Ebberon

p.s. I was looking at FochLucan Lyrist but I hear Sublime Cord is good too.
If you have an;y advice at all from races, classes, items, and feats post it here.

This is the second time.

Hey i had an idea. I decided on the fochlucan lyrist.
So how would I have the flamboyant attitude of a halfling bard while being part druid.
How can I love nature but disrespect everything else.
BTW: I had planned on making him a complete pervert and rascal when it comes to authority figures.

A half-elf Wiz 10/Clr 10?! Heh, don't worry about optimization, he sure didn't >.>

And yeah, this does seem better suited for CharOp

As to his personality...play him as a bit of an eternal kid. He's fine with nature because it's non-judgemental and all, but around civilized settlements, he feels the need to cut everyone down to size to show them that they're not so great. Kind of a Peter Pan approach.
