For the sake of performance you can't be dex and str at the same time, pick one.
If you are going on str. then i suggest to multiclass with RDD, elset get Arc.Archer+bard (weap: longbow).

For what is needed WIS 14?
Are you going to increase your ab with the cleric buff? If so those stats are wrong.
A bard doesn't need an high wis. ,unless if you are planning to switch allignment and get some lvl by monk or by paladin. Bard/Pal . is a really nice combo


Anyway... keep in mind that you won't reach the 20 lvl on the OC.

With str. based build, a t.shield is required to increase your AC.

bard (11lvl or less)+cleric (8lvl or more)

• str 14 (6pt)
• dex 10 (0pt) elf +2 nat. bonus
• con 12 (6pt) elf -2 nat. malus
• int 14 (6pts.)
• wis 14 (6pts.)
• char 14 (6pts.)

tot. 30 points

weapon: katana or b.sword , longsword to save a talent.

11 lvl by bard = +2 ac with song. <11lvl just a +2 to AB with song.

Not really a great build on 20 levels, but very fun to play.


If you are going full bard (wich is my reccomended):
bard

• str 18 (16)
• dex 10 (0) elf +2 nat. bonus
• con 10 (4) elf -2 nat. malus
• int 12 (4)
• wis 8 (0)
• char 14 (6)

tot. 30 points

talents:
-c. weapon exotic ,
-c.heavy armor ,
-weap. focus: b.sword,
-imp.crit. b.sword,
-some talent to extend the song duration.

weapon: katana/b.sword or longsword. In the last case you will save one talent. Pick combat casting.


Bard on dex
bard

• str 8 (0)
• dex 20 (16) elf +2 nat. bonus
• con 10 (4) elf -2 nat. malus
• int 12 (4)
• wis 8 (0)
• char 14 (6)

tot. 30 points

weapon: rapier or scimitar. Longbow if you choose to multiclass with the AA.
