Re-reading that, I just want to clarify that I'm not saying critical hits don't change DPR..


Just to give a rule of thumb.  The damage dealt on a creature not immune to crits divided by the damage that would be dealt if it was immune to crits is given below:

1 + (0.05 * critical range * (critical multiplier -1))

This equation loses accuracy as the critical range increases.  Again this is more of a quick rough calculation.

If you are still interested at what levels to improve CHA, increase CHA until its at lvl 19. Than you can focus on DEX.
Spear, halberd, and scythe are good melee weapons that give you a longer reach. Each of these weapons can be improved by a a blacksmith. Spear with fairy dust, halberd with dragon's blood, and scythe with adamantine.

Why 19? If the goal is to cast all bard spells, then 16 is plenty. If the goal is to be able to cast more spells between rests, then the increases come at even numbers, sp 19 may not be the best stopping point. Of course, in the OC there are items that increase CHA as well, so it's pretty easy to hit the +12 ability increase from magic cap.

The reach of weapons may be a factor (honestly never double-checked that there is much of an in-game advantage to it), but any of those but the spear would require a pure bard to spend a feat on weapon proficiency. Though the two smith-made halberds are among the best weapons in the OC, an elf bard could use the longsword without spending any feats and the astral blades are pretty nice. Ditto for the morningstars (which any bard can use).
