The spells are given too late in the game and only reach level 4. I want more caster power.  My background is mostly the DM (somewhat tired of that) but i've always been the arcane caster with a twist (fighter/rogue, etc). Bards are probably the first time they've hit what i really am looking for in an edition to fit it. I want the higher levels to still have the cool "teleport or fly, etc" spells which is somewhat hard with the half casters (or 1/3 for EK). But here's the concept I really wanted to start working on:I liked the idea of a Fey origin and being a Sidhe or Half-Sidhe. I don't care about specific powers so I would probably use human or half-elf and this be more "flavor". Specifically from where you discuss keeping iconic characters in the several other future campaigns I LOVE the idea of that being my character. His "magic" fluctuates (which fits with the concept of us changing levels) and he's a fighter style versatile character. Levels would mean his fighting fluctuates too but it would "match" the situations.I am caught on the concept of a long lived character stuck in an ever changing world dealing with "mortals". I envision there being a royal "court" he belonged too that is likely destroyed now or perhaps not (you can fit that however you'd want in) but he's kind of "caught between" the elves and the humans and dragons and just trying to help how he can.I typically like to get a "concept" and find the best way to fit that in with character levels.It sounds like we've got a fighter, wizard, paladin, bard, rogue? So most everything is met. I just never work playing a pure Cleric unfortunately. [MENTION=6747879]Hero[/MENTION] what is your concept? If i kept with the bard perhaps we wouldn't really be crossing in roles?My idea was a bard fighter style who uses haste and other buffs like smite, etc to burn spell slots and be a front line fighter. I'll build him a bit tougher (maybe Resilient feat, etc). Maybe take a level or two of fighter?Didn't want to get too serious to others seem acceptable with it, etc.</blockquote>
