The downside I've seen is the lack of support spells that the Cleric gets that they can prepared only when needed, but the Bard needs to already know.As for ability scores, you want Cha to be highest, with Dex to be at least 14. Standard array is fine, depending on other details of your character you care about (race, background, skills, etc.). General tips: Vicious Mockery is very strong at low levels, but becomes slightly less effective once enemies gain Multi-Attack. Due to lack of armor options and Dex being secondary, your AC isn't going to be very good (unless you take the College of Valor), so you'll probably want to hide in the back as much as possible. You probably won't deal a lot of damage, but you're a solid support character (you should be used to this as a long time cleric player).</blockquote>
