The Souljourner
First Post
My old character died in Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, and isn't coming back, so I have to make up a new one.
I'm thinking of creating a bard. I'm starting at 9th level, and am trying to figure out what spells to take. I'm planning on staying straight bard, I think, just to see how they play.
We have a cleric, druid, wizard, and fighter in the party, which means healing is pretty well taken care of, as is straight out damage spells (not that bards have much of that anyway).
Here's my initial spell choice, please let me know what you think:
0th:
Detect Magic
Ghost Sound
Light
Mage Hand
Mending
Read Magic
1st:
Charm Person
Cure Light Wounds
Tasha's Hideous Laughter
Silent Image
2nd:
Alter Self
Detect Thoughts
Hold Person
Summon Swarm
3rd:
Charm Monster
Glibness
Slow
I wish Slow wasn't just superior to Crushing Despair, since that's much more in flavor with the bard, but I just can't justify the difference.
