ok I am rolling a new gnomish bard of some type, i have no experience of bards , so would some number cruncher be so kind as to post a decent stat placement and maybe some different training plans? thanks in advance

what weapon types are you wanting to go for...personally i would recommend training for sonics you really can't beat them as a bard?
