Priestess of Eilistraee

Hiho,

With multiclassing in the game, my hopes of playing an Eilistraee cleric have gone up, after some frustration during EA.

I'm thinking about starting as a Bard, to later add Cleric, but either would work for me. Any suggestions on how to "spec" them? Also, which respective subclass would work best? She'd obviously want to use swords and fight with as little armour as possible. Are there any important cutoff points to be aware of, in terms of level and important spell/skill?

I've played my share of CRPGs over the years, but this one seems to actually make some interesting choices possible.
