I would replace faerie fire. Both hypnotic pattern and polymorph are combat concentration spells, so you probably won't be useing it very much.Hi there, I'm about to join a party of three (level 9), creating a Lore Bard. The party lacks utility, reliable control and healing, plus a social guy. So the build I have in mind is this:
Human Variant (8,12,10,14,14,20) point buy
Prodigy (Human bonus feat), Actor (level 4)
Background Noble, Proficiencies: Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Medicine, Perception, Performance, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Experise Deception, Insight
Spells:
0 - Mage Hand, Minor Illusion, Vicious Mockery
1 - Charm Person, Faerie Fire, Healing Word
2 - Blindness/Deafness, Invisibility
3 - Dispel Magic, Hypnotic Pattern, Major Image, Tongues
4 - Polymorph
5 - Mass Cure Wounds, Mislead
Secrets: Counterspell, Fireball or Fly
I want to focus on roleplaying and deception tactics, hence the questionably low physical stats. What do you guys think of the spell selection?
I suggest suggestion instead.
Command, from cleric, is also a good secret option.
Also, be aware that you are really lack in defense. Nearly every attack will hit you. So cast your concentration spell, then run away from combat. Or do what you can to avoid it in the first place.
