Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 7491016" data-attributes="member: 158">The theorycrafting is fine, but a Valor Bard can do perfectly well as-is; the +2 from Archery Style, and the second wind, are very good, but so is getting your feat , your spells, and your second attack at the earliest level. The advantage of this system is that there are very few "trap" options, so if Valor or Swords Bard suits the OP's style, just by themselves they pull their weight very well; the multiclassing and feats are just gravy.(Of course, if either multiclassing or feats aren't allowed in the campaign for the original poster, this is all moot.)Just make sure, regardless, that your DEX score is not neglected; as an archer, this is far and away your bread and butter to being a successful archer. If you are not targeting your foes with any bard spells, or if you are mainly focused on using spells to buff you or your allies, I would even say to prioritize DEX over CHA, since the only other thing it affects is the number of uses of Bardic inspiration per day, whereas your DEX affects every single attack that you make.</blockquote>
