Seems to me it synergises quite nicely with the high charisma and the likely two-weapon fighting style.

Has anything been already done about this ? A single dip into cleric would give a 18 cha bard a lot of power since they get 7 divine might per day that they can use on their iterative attacks.

Thoughts, comments, builds ?

It's in Frostburn.

If you really want to be a melee bard, I also suggest wands of Divine Power and the Arcane Strike feat. Maybe wands of Wraithstrike too.

Same for Arcane Strike, I think, but I think his resources should be able to hold out so long as he doesn't go nova constantly.

Frankly with the cleric domains you could chose, many of them give great abilities that aren't tied to class levels, so bueno. Arcane, divine, whatever ... cleric 1 with two domains and turn undead is an awesome one-level dip. The only reason it is talked about rarely is that cleric 20 is also pretty darn awesome ...
