I have come to the conclusion that my biggest objection has been that +1 to spellcasting level at each class level is significantly different when applied to bard spellcasting than when applied to a full casting class such as wizard or cleric. That is 5 levels of bard spellcasting is roughly equivalent to 3 levels of full progression spellcasting.I believe that I have a mechanic which would allow the class to be more expansive.Levels 1, 3, 5 could provide +1 level to a spellcasting class, while levels 2 and 4 could provide +1 level to bard spellcasting.The character that enters the class as a straight bard then receives all five levels of spellcasting. The mulitclass spellcaster/bard would receive +3 levels to the spellcasting class, and +2 levels to the bard. The Loremaster who uses their Lore feature as an equivalent to bardic knowledge would receive +3 to their spellcating class, but the +2 bard levels would not apply.This option is so attractive that I am going to go ahead and make the changes. I would like to hear what other members of the board think.</blockquote>
