Ruža was a sex worker at a Calistrian temple until she learned her true heritage—she was the firstborn of a noble family, disowned as a babe for being born a tiefling. She'd already picked up some bardic tricks as a dancer, and a favourite client, a Tien rogue, taught her how to fight. Now she's on the path to revenge against her parents.

This is my attempt at a skill monkey Maestro/Warrior Bard, ending up Legendary in Deception, Diplomacy, Performance & Stealth, and Master in Acrobatics, Intimidation & Thievery.

She has the Fan Dancer archetype which gives her scaling Performance and allows her to Tumble Through and roll initiative with Performance, and then the Rogue & Swashbuckler archetypes for skills and defence.

She fights with a gakgung bow and a free-hand tekko-kagi. At low levels they help with a little third action damage, but at level 8 she can combine Fortissimo Composition with Martial Performance to extend a +2/3 Courageous Anthem on a hit.

Hopefully that combat rotation with leave my spells freer for utility—I'll still pick up the classics like Soothe and Slow, but I also want fun stuff like Illusory Disguise, Invisibility, Mercurial Stride, etc.

Has anyone played a build like this, or have any thoughts? Am I over-investing in skills when I'd be better served by just picking up something like Captivator?
