After posting in the D&D thread I was recommended to taking a Valorous bard instead of a Prescient one due to our lack of dedicated healers and defenders. I don't have as much experience but after reading the bard charop thread I went with a melee guy that multiclassed into swordmage to get access to using swords as implements in addition to another damage reducing interrupt. Also with the swordbond abilities I figure I can start making ranged attacks with the sword then call in back as a minor to get access to some of the cooler ranged bard abilities. We are starting at level 4 but I think this is the direction I want him to go. I haven't upgraded his weapons yet. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Freddy, level 11 Half-Elf, Bard, War Chanter Build: Valorous Bard Bardic Virtue: Virtue of Valor Versatile Expertise: Versatile Expertise (Heavy Blade) Versatile Expertise: Versatile Expertise (Instrument) FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 13, Con 19, Dex 11, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 21.

Really? I thought it was a standard action to get it to return and the magic weapon just let you call it from a longer distance or something. If that's true that's cool since it's an extra feat to be used on something better.
