More thoughtful opinions are good.
I’m actually curious about what you and other people think of taking Thunder Step as an Additional Magical Secret for a Lore Bard. It seems like a great choice for Valor, but I am thinking about it for when my Lore Bard hits 6th level too. Good utility and a bit of AOE damage seems nice, but not sure if passing up other spell choices is worth it or not.

I'm actually going back and forth on this spell.
What I like is that it fills a few niches...damage, teleport, and the "oh s#it I need to get out of here". Plus, "any space you can see" can be abused.
What I don't like is that it's not ally friendly, and 30' is a big radius to be inflicting 3d10 damage to your allies. (Especially if the fight is already going badly.
If you're someone who Dimension Doors a lot as a utility...this is a less expensive version of that but I'm not sure I would want to see this used in a combat situation.
Right, I feel the same way! One thing in its favor, as far as being ally-friendly, is that it's only a 10-foot radius (yes, I had to look that up, was thinking 30 feet). So if you're rescuing your ally who's about to go down, with say, 3 adjacent foes, this is great, but in some situations it may be more tricky. I may just have to try it in play when I get to 6th level in a couple of months. Or else chicken out and take Fireball, lol.
