"Did you know that Purple Dragons like time-pieces?", is something Zaniel would say. He is a Shardmind Bard who was created with the hope of being a sturdy, know-it-all healer and loremaster. He is a Scholor in theme and as an occupation. Though he is only a level 4, he is quite capable of serving as one hell of a doctor and intellectual, taking 3 multiclass feats as his first 3 to expand his healing ability. But as he levels, it seems his healing ability will not scale as well as it has so far (or so I think).

What I need are some good feats, perhaps items, that will improve my ability to heal or raise my skill scores, ritual skills especially, while remaining sturdy and able to take a hit or two. Being a loremaster is the most important role (especially for my current campaign), then healing, then high survivability. I'm having a bit of trouble maintaining the balance of these aspects at higher levels. Broken combos welcome.

In addition to that, there is one other concern about this build. The multiclass feats I took grant me healing word, inspiring word, and ardent surge and say I can use them as dailies. I'm not 100% sure on this as the Character Builder lists each as being able to be used twice a day (until I increase my level). Does that mean I can use them the number of times the power states, but only recharge during an extended rest, or is it once per day, period?
