I am currently playing an elvish bard with following stats. This is very fun character to solo with.
Str 8
Dex 16
Con 7
Wis 8
Int 16
CHR 17

Put all points in CHR . Wear all +CHR items for max spell resist minus the shield and armour. This will give you 38 CHR. Several of the NPC items are perfect for you. Get curse song and enchantment focuses. Go to the beggars nest first for some target practice with the ice wand. VEry easy clear out. I suggest Charm Person, Identify, Sleep, and MAge Armor. For second level spells, Ghostly Visage, Invisibility, Hold Person,. and Silence. The quick cast feat is very good as Silence, Invisibility, Hold Person, Charm, and Sleep are all sick. Ghostly Visage will become inneffective eventually so you can switch it out for something else. Very fun character. Not so strait forward using charms and sleep, but very fun. low HP makes battle daring!

For skills,
Use Magic Item high but not max
Appraise High but not max
Concentartion high but not max
Diasrm trap only one rank, bard song +gear will max this to the highest disarm possible for non-rogue
open Lock Max
Searrch Max
Perform- you can sluff a bit at first but max
Tumble- to twenty
Spellcraft- to twenty

hide and sneak are a bit weak when you can just turn invisible over and over.

For gear, Nymph Cloak +5, Crystal RObes, Greater Mask of PErsuasion, Lilting Note, Gloves of Dex +5, Dragon's Slippers, NPC RING +4 CHR, NPC Belt+5 CHR, NPC Ring +4 DEX, Amulet slot switches. NPC amulet is good +4 DEX, Spell Resistance is good. You can switch the NPC DEX ring for a +FOR Save ring when you need it as you have abysmal fortitude saves.
