I'm planning on multiclassing with fighter and focusing on archery. We'll start 4th level. Build will probably move toward 2/3 Bard, 1/3 fighter. We're sticking to core books, plus the Forgotten Realms setting book. Just wondering if anyone thinks this will be really underpowered in the end. I was thinking the xtra Hit points, BAB, feats, weapon proficiencies, and fort saves made the fighter multi worthwhile; but should I just stick with bard? Thanks! DeLoren

It get's 16 BaB & a +3 inspire courage which suggests that you should probaly use TWF to get the most out of the bonus damage. However, it's still nice for an archer build. paladin2/fighter2/bard16 is better if you can get around the alignment requirements (talk to your DM about making it do-able) due to cha synergy (cha>saves( For an archer bard who's multiclassing you could go bard14/ranger6. It synergises better then fighter ihmo due to higher skill points. Plus it will boost 2 saves as opposed to 1.
