Bard 8 lets you have useful spells to imbue (Dispel Magic, Fear, Scare, etc.), bardic music to support your party, decent skill selection... The one problem, is that with an Elf or Half-Elf, you use all your feats to satisfy the prereqs (Of course, in my homebrew campaign there are neither, but I'm planning to adapt it to a nation of humans, but that's neither here nor there). Any thoughts?

If you're interested in doing lots of cool bow damage, there are better ways to do it. Sublime chord is good, because the spellcasting makes up for the rest, and there is no shortage of archer build on the boards already.
