From there, it's just a matter of picking appropriate spells for the role you want to play. Bards are weak when it comes to damaging spells, but they have some and if spell damage is your primary role, then that's what you should be looking for at level 6. However, your role may have changed by then, so I would hold off on making any decision on college until you actually reach level 3 and see what the party composition is at that point in time. After all, there may be another death and replacement character, and you might find you don't have to be the primary spellcaster.In short, when you reach level 6 (assuming you pick the College of Lore), pick the spells that are needed to fill whatever gap your party has at that point in time. Don't overthink it before you reach that point <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> If you decide at level 3 that the party doesn't need too much in the way of magical support, go back to your original idea of College of Valor, giving the party another front-line combatant, if needed.</blockquote>
