Which do you guys think is better...

Barbarian 2/Bard 4/Battle Howler of Gruumsh 5/sub chord 2/rage mage 7
or
Barbarian 2/Bard 4/Battle Howler 5/War Chanter 9

are there any other killer combos I'm missing out there? Battle Howler can be found in Dragon 311. Obviously the first build offers more in the way of casting whereas the second has more bardic music effects to buff the party

thanks in advance

I can't comment on the Battle Howler as I don't recall where it's from. However, War Chanter 9 doesn't get you anything, IIRC, and 8th is a +4 enhancement bonus to Str which is normally redundant by the level you get it.

Warrior Skald (Races of Faerun) stacks with Bard for Bardic Music and level 2 nets you the ability to remove Fatigue and Exhaustion 1/hour. Useful for a Raging Bard.

Bar 2/Brd 4/BH 5/WC 7/WS 2

Either way...just my 2 cp
