One time, in 3.5, my friend made a combat-based Bard Starting at level 3 (Ftr 2/Brd 1)... He took battle Jump, Power Attack, Snowfalke Wardance, Weapon Focus (greatsword) And Combat Expertise so he could qualify for war chanter. With Snowflake Wardance, you can add your Str and Cha to your attack in 10 turns. Dump all your Base Attack Bonus into Power attack and double it with battle jump.... and Viola! a Bard that does 2D6+14 at level 3.
And if he had Leap Attack, he could have tripled his damage before doubling it with battle jump.
Noice. I love to see shenanigans like that. BATTLE BARD
My Cloistered Cleric Knowledge Devotion abuser had a 2nd level spell which granted +5 to Knowledge checks for 10 min/level, +10 bonus if you followed a god with the Knowledge Domain (hey, what do you know). I pumped all of my skills into Knowledge, and with that +10 bonus, I ended up getting between a +3 and +5 to attack and damage for half an hour a day at level 3. We'd found a +2 mace, and my cleric was the one best suited to use it so, I ended up with a 1d6+2 base, +3 strength, +5 knowledge, +2 Bull Strength, with a total +13 attack bonus,(+13/1d6+12) for several encounters. The barbarian was jealous. DM was thinking of calling shenanigans on it.
My Druid Summoner's critters ended up with ridiculous stats after all the feats too. Like +10 natural armor, fast healing 3, bonuses to grapple, +4 Str/Con, +3 attack, +1d6 cold damage, double duration. For some reason, the DM had no problem with any of this.
