[QUOTE="El Gallo Negro, post: 6832577, member: 6811648"] Awesome to know I'm not the only one who second guesses himself! I'm currently playing a bard in a new campaign. We got to roughly 500xp this weekend and should probably hit 3rd level next session. I'm still not sure if I want to go Valor or Lore myself, but I won't get into that discussion. I will, however, state that only you really know how useful the spell will be in the campaign you're currently playing. Every campaign, every party, and every DM is different. I've read the guides, too. I think they're great resources. But most guides point to performance as a DUMP stat, even for bards. This couldn't be further from the truth for my character! Rather than make choices based on general consensus, I decided that it is always best to make choices based on WHO I want my character to be. When I consider magical secrets for Lore Bards, I have to consider the most powerful 3rd level spells. But when I actually get to make the decisions, it will be based on how the campaign has unfolded so far. Who has my character become? I you like misty step, take it and have fun with it. Also, as others have pointed out, consider the out of combat possibilities. The other thing I would consider is waiting until you have access to dimension door. But if you don't want to wait, then don't. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
