Any ideas for a Fire Dancer Bard subclass?

[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 7299760, member: 53176"] Might be a good time for a gish style damage character. First of all, they need access to the following cantrips: Control Flame Greenflame Blade Produce flame. Then throw in some good proper burn spells like Fireball for an expanded spell list like warlocks have. I mean, they technically have that already, but it would be nice to give access to those kinds of spells before level 10. Secondly, they totally need a Fire-Breath attack. This is the "Expend Inspiration Dice" option, so it it should scale with the type of die used. Making it a Bonus Action AoE lets the bard do whatever action they want, including casting a spell. The hard parts come next. At level 6 they are going to need some way to actually survive melee combat. I propose that they take an action to cause fire to float and dance around them for a duration, causing any enemy that strikes them to take fire damage (Also, it looks flashy). And as a Reaction to being attacked, they may consume this fire sheathing them to cause a blinding flash, forcing the creature attacking them to make a saving throw or become blinded for a turn or two. Then at level 14 you let them become living flame: They gain immunity to fire, resistance to cold, and their hair becomes an eternal torch or something. [/QUOTE]
