docxombie 08-31-04, 10:05 PM	im putting together a bard character, and i wondered if anyone has tried adding the mage of the arcane order prestige class to it. this seemsPR allmost perfect for a 2-3 level dip into for access to spells a bard either doesnt have access to, or spell he wouldnt normally take. the three feats the bard would need is coopertive spell and arcane preparation, plus one other metamagic feat. but what metamagic feat would be good to have? anyways, thanks for the advice :)

Because going with the bard levels nets you more levels of bardic song. Look at it this way: one build gives you better bardic music, the other gives you better arcane casting.
