Thanks for the support.
If not for my current "Deity's Favoured Weapon" fixation I'd had gone with Valour, a Sword&Board Dex build - in this case - Rapier and Board
But as this is what comes to my mind upon mention of Eilistraee

I do not find it
shield compatible Also, I assume that it simply is easier to prance about with a bastard sword than a rapier&shield combo.
So Sword College is most probable, the plan being switching at 2nd lvl, and thus gaining 2nd attack at "game level" 7 - 1 Fighter + 6 Bard levels.
Valour is not that attractive - she is no skald, collecting stories, she is making
her own song of blade and dance and kicking ass for goodness
A Paladin/Bard mix would be good too, but Paladins are not Chaotic enough for my taste. And the Dark Maiden is CG
(party girl!!!!11) to the core.
As you remember 2ed days you know that Elves
had to be Chaotic - Neutral at best, and Paladins were LG Humans only.
