[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 8608057, member: 58197"] The main thing is that he should be wary of delaying that 5th level of bard more than one or two levels. Even if he doesn't care about optimization, there is such an insane spike in power when you hit 5th level (in any class, not just bard) that he will really feel the gap between his PC and the others in the party. That is the level when wizards go from [I]scorching ray[/I] to [I]fireball,[/I] and fighters literally double their damage output. For bards, it means access to powerhouse spells like [I]fear [/I]and [I]hypnotic pattern[/I],[I] [/I]plus inspiration refreshing on a short rest instead of a long rest. Once you get to 5th, it's much less of a big deal to branch out. Warlock is the most multiclass-friendly class in the game; in fact, it's notorious for cheese builds. But even multiclassing into something with no synergy at all won't hurt you [I]too[/I] much as long as you've hit that level 5 threshold in at least one of your classes. [/QUOTE]
