What ability scores and skill proficiencies do you plan on taking with this build?
Not sure I will actually run this build in the end, might just play a single-class Swords Bard, but for starting attributes probably: Str 8 Dex 16 Con 14 Int 8 Wis 10 Cha 17, aiming to have these stats by level 4 or 5 (using some items): Str 8 Dex 18 Con 14 Int 17(7 natural) Wis 10 Cha 18
Skill Proficiencies (If starting bard first, anyway): Perception (from Drow), Acrobatics & Performance (from Entertainer background), Persuasion, Deception, Insight. Mostly party "face" stuff. Gale can cover for Intelligence-requiring skills.
I'll have Shadowheart in my party and also Astarion some of the time, so wasn't going to take Sleight of Hand (they both have proficiency in it), and Shadowheart can help with making me Stealthy, when needed (using Pass Without Trace).
