I currently store my bicycle in a locked building, it's insured (as is the bike) and hard to access so even if someone knew the bike was there it isn't easy to just get through the door and take the bike away. However the building in unheated and gets damp in the winter (have found drifts of snow inside near where the bike lives).

I'd like a bicycle storage box that I can add a small thermostatic heater too so that I can keep the bike warmer (above freezing) and so that it will tend to not get damp so easily. All of the boxes I can find online are really designed for external storage (or security storage) and cost quite a lot.

Can anyone recommend either an alternative or solution?

The building has power so I can add a heater, but it would be extremely impractical/expensive to heat/dry the whole building. I might also add a desiccant dehumidifier too.

A friend bought me the game a few weeks ago and has had the temerity to go on holiday so leaving me to my own devices.

I want to play a different character to my main in our slow and steady play (moon druid/shapeshifter (which I'm enjoying)). I decided that a Sword Bard Archer was going to be my main and I would solo as much as I could (without killing off potential friends (other than Astarion and Lazel who died but I'll res in camp, I just don't have time for their neediness). (edit And I always feel guilty killing potential friends off.)

But once I had got Shadowheart I decided I really want to make her a full on support build so she'd support me while I kill things from afar. Then I thought I'd add Karlach as a front line tank type (respecing out of Barb).

And then I thought why not make both of them bards.

Can you recommend builds (with some level of guide (I'm still new enough to the game that the for example: 10 bard/2 cleric... really doesn't help...)) for a tanking/melee/etc Bard, and a Support/back line low combat effectiveness bard. My current party in the play through with my friend is caster heavy (I'm basically the only melee range and I still cast out of wild-shape), so I'm thinking that the final party member would be a sneaky type of bard, so a guide/build for that would be handy too.

My existing character has some bard buffs that only effect other characters, is it worth getting the same buffs on other characters to buff my main?

Will gear be an issue given that they're all going to be CHA even though they'll have different roles within the party?

edit: I would prefer to steer clear of caster specific Bards/characters, hence why my 4th would be rogue lite and my support having low combat effectiveness. My other main (with friend) is caster heavy, and when I have searched for all bard party setups they all seem to recommend caster heavy setups (perhaps because bards are casters), I don't mind being suboptimal, just playing for fun and to help me learn the game. I'm playing in Tactician.

edit #2:
Have recruited Shadowheart and a Hireling (who will be replaced by Karlach when I get to her), and currently working my way through Act 1, at level 5 atm and wandering round the Underdark after killing the big spider and dropping down. Probably end up with Gale or Wyll as my 4th, who will actually be Tanky Boy. So far so good, and thanks for all the suggestions.

Looking for reconsolidations for a SPF50+ (or similar) long sleeved shirt.

Prefer it to have some sort of chest pocket, mens 4XL, in a non-cotton fabric, lightweight but I'd prefer a natural fabric if possible (budget and weight not withstanding). Pale colour, prefer not patterned. Budget ~£50 (can go higher for the right shirt).

Will be worn under a rucksack sometimes, but mostly for just casual walking/living. I've tried searching for various things and most of the places I thought would have something either don't have the size (Alpkit) or are too expensive even in the sale (Rohan). Or just look like cheap Chinese imported rubbish (everywhere else). Either I'm searching for the wrong thing or such a garment doesn't exist.

Help, please.
