Bard temp help.

I am makeing a bard with 120 in all 4 barding skills. That means i have 240 extra points. 100 of which I am planning on putting into hiding because of the usefulness/convenience of the skill. With the other 140 I am not sure what skills I should use to keep myself alive.
40 chiv for healing and cure, 100 magic resist?
100 spellweaving, 40 something?

I want to try and stay away from magery because of its uselessness after death.
I also plan on using lots and lots of pots.

Any suggestions or opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

i liked running with high spellweave/chiv. no need for supplies. very easy to hit though w/o wep skills/magery+mage wep. but it's a nice cheap template, all you need is a blessed instrument.

You can use a fire horn for some damage if you are running all 4 bard skills. Also if you are going to use pots I'd recommend makeing alchemy and useing explosion pots. As for hiding if I were you take magery instead. Magery has all the good stuff including great pets, invis, area blocking spells (great for a bard), curse/disco stack, big heals when needed, energy vortex, and of course the ability to gate to get around! Pot damage with 100 alch is pretty decent. I would go with at least 110 magery. Save up for a 115 or a 120 down the road. The extra few points run med or focus. If you wear even a mana regen6 (1mr per piece) suit you should be fine. Mana regen 1 armor is all over and cheap. All you would want to run blessed is a ecru citrine ring. 50% pot bonus. I think you will have a blast. What ya think?

Sounds solid to me, but the reason I enjoy hiding so much is because I can hide indeffinetly. For those times when something comes up.

But I will think about it.
Thanks

My Bard was 120 all bard with 120 SW GM med.
So is your math off? 500 points in bard 100 in hide only leaves 100-120 points to play with.
I would suggest SW anyway since all you need to do is keep gift of life on.

This is what I get posting before the coffee kicks in.
What will you be hiding from? Will you be human or elf?
