Hi all, I wanted to experiment with classes I never used before (bard and arcane duelist) and since Im not really good at doing builds Im asking for your help :P. This build is made for the PW I play on and since subraces arent abailable, it is not an option. Im looking for any advices on how to improve this build (stats, feats, skills, lvls progression, etc).

So heres what the build looks like so far:

Human neutral evil, bard 14/Blackguard 16/ Arcane duelist 10

STR: 16 (30) DEX: 12 (13) CON: 10 WIS: 8 INT: 14 CHA: 15

1) Bard - Power Attack and CLeave
2) Bard
3) Bard  - Knockdown
4) Bard  +1 DEX
5) Bard  
6) Bard  - dodge
7) Bard
8) Bard  +1 STR
9) Blackguard - mobility (use poison)
10) Blackguard (smite good, dark blessing)
11) Arcane Duelist (chosen weapon)
12) Arcane duelist +1 STR, Ext. Spell (enchant. chosen weapon, apparent defense)
13) Arcane duelist (Dexterous attack)
14) blackguard (turn undead)
15) blackguard - divine shield  (sneak +1d6)
16) blackguard +1 STR (summon fiend)
17) blackguard  (inflict serious wounds)
18) blackguard - divine might (contagion, sneak +2d6)
19) blackguard  (inflick critical wounds)
20) blackguard +1 STR
21) blackguard -unholy strike (sneak +3d6)
22) Bard
23) Bard
24) Bard +1 STR- Great STR
25) Bard
26) Bard
27) Arcane Duelist
28) Arcane Duelist +1 STR (blur)
29) Arcane Duelist
30) Arcane Duelist (False keeness)
31) Arcane Duelist
32) Arcane Duelist +1 STR (mirror image)
33) Arcane Duelist - Great STR (flurry of swords)
34) Blackguard
35) Blackguard
36) Blackguard +1 STR - Great STR- Armor Skin
37) Blackguard
38) Blackguard
39) Blackguard - Great STR- Epic prowess
40) Bard +1 STR - skills dump

Finish with 4 attack/rounds AB 37/32/27/22 AC 32 with mundane longsword, full plate and tower shield (unbuffed).
I didnt write the skills distribution because Im not sure what would be better. My guess was to pump perform to 21 (lvl 14 bard) and push as high as possible tumble, UMD, taunt, spellcraft and discipline.

Thx all!
