Message: <blockquote data-quote="WASDHammer" data-source="post: 8419682" data-attributes="member: 7030838">I am in a campaign at level 5 that is very combat intensive (I usually have run out of all spells and BIs well before combat even ends in a day).For this reason I actually dipped a single level in DS Sorcerer (Bard 4/DS Sorcerer 1) for this reason (for Shield, Firebolt/Mind Sliver dmg cantrips, the Favored by the God pseudo Res(con) on SR.The party is pretty well rounded:Vengeance PaladinDivination WizardLife ClericWay of Mercy MonkArtificerLore Bard (me)I am planning ahead for my magical secrets at 6/10/14 and am finding that my current team makes many of my traditional selections redundant with other PC member strengths (Fireball - CHECK, Aura of Vitality - CHECK, Revivify - CHECK). I mean, what fun is it to have your Wizard blast a Fireball in all its glory, then have my Bard just toss another one?  How droll!Perhaps a controller would be the best niche that wouldn't step on another PC's glory, but curious if there are some Magical Secrets that are a bit off the beaten path that others may have had great success with.  Right now, I'm thinking:Level 6: Counterspell & Level 10: Wall of Force & Telekinesis???Level 14: Simulacrum (is that even useful in practice?) & Reverse Gravity/Chain Lightning??Level 18: Wish & maybe True Polymorph?Anyways, first time Bard so interested in any combo's that work well, helped your Bard carve its own niche, and was just fun to play with, especially in a party that seemingly already has everything covered. Lastly, with the combat heavy nature of the campaign, I'm worried summoning spells (like Conjure Animals) will absolutely GRIND everything to a halt.Any thoughts out there? Much appreciated!</blockquote>
