Title is unrelated. :D

My friend is starting up a campaign based around a dwarven city and I thought I'd get in on the action.

I'd never played as a dwarf before, nor any sort of spellcaster like this, so this is my attempt. Those more schooled in such things, feel free to pipe up and help me. Also, if this is a completely useless build, also feel free to tell me :P

For ease of use, I have listed the alternate class features before the build breakdown.

Books Allowed: 3.0 (non-updated) and 3.5 books (all)

Race: Desert Dwarf (DM ruled favored class as Druid :P Thank you sir)
Class: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 10

Rolls: 16, 16, 18, 14, 12 , 17
Stats(without lvl increases): Str 16(+3), Dex 12(+1), Con 18(+4), Int 17(+3), Wis 14(+2), Cha 18(+4)

Variants: Stalwart Sorcerer, Nature Bard, Bardic Sage, Spellbreaker Song, Rootwalker, Metamagic Specialist


Build(Expanded):

1st: Sorcerer 1 : Precocious Apprentice
2nd: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1
3rd: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 1 : ???
4th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 2
5th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3
6th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 1 : ???
7th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 2
8th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 3
9th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 4 : Natural Spell
10th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5
11th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 1
12th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 2 : ???
13th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 3
14th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 4
15th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 5 : ???
16th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 6
17th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 7
18th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 8 : ???
19th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 9
20th: Sorcerer 1/Bard 1/Druid 3/Arcane Heirophant 5/Sublime Chord 10

This is just a rough draft so far, as I still need to figure out how I want to use the goodies this build gives me. Wild Shape forms (of any type, such as abberation, DRAGON, and exalted of 8th level or lower are what I'm looking for), good animal companion choices, spell choices, etc...

By the end of this you will have:

0-8th level sorcerer arcane spells
0-1st level bardic arcane spells
0-4th level Druid divine spells
Bardic Knowledge 13+Int
Wild Shape (8 HD)
Animal Companion as 8th level druid + familiar abilities as 6th level Sorc
Ability to cast all arcane spells in medium armor (Dragonhide Breasplate or Halfweight Dendritic armor, beastskin(CA version)

Thanks guys....again, lol

You in don't qualify for Arcane Heirophant. You don't have +4 BAB at 6th level.

What else? Your caster level is super low, no 9th level spells for not anywhere close to a good trade. Timestop/Gate/Whatever better then little animal companion and your limited wildshape abilities, your perform skill is cross class sorcerer/druid/arcane heirophant level which eats up points that need to go towards qualifying for classes.

If you want to make a sublime cord, think about working through it with just bard. Bard/Lyric Thurmaturge/Sublime Cord is decent and beefs up your bard spells at the same time. Plus offers it's own little tricks at the same time, sonic spells are nice for example. Who doesn't love a +3d6 sonic damage from Sonic Weapon as a second level spell? Sonic orbs, resonating bolts, etc.
