I would start the archetypes at 1st level though, because it always felt weird that you had to built your bard at first with the idea that you only had a few available weapons and only light armors, then at 3rd you unlocked medium armor, martial weapons and shield, meaning if you boosted your Dex to go rapier + light armor at 1st level, your new proficiencies were lost, or you built in advance to use a str-weapon and heavier armor +shield, but your damage and damage for 3 level were abysmal. In ''Tales from the Borderland'' which is my table's 5e-lite system I created, this is what I went with two archetypes A) Valor/Skald/Warchanter and B) the loremaster, both starting at level 1 (in my system, all archetypes starts at 1. Note also: my system does not have spells). Hit Points: 1d8 + your CON score. Armor: light armorWeapons: simple weaponsSkills: Choose any 3 and three musical instruments of your choice<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Level</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>College: Choose between Lore and Valor. Bonds of friendship:  As an action, you can choose two willing creatures you can see within 30 feet of you (this can include yourself) and create a spirit bond between them. While either bonded creature is within 30 feet of the other, the creature can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to an attack roll, an ability check, or a save it makes. Each creature can add the d4 no more than once per turn. The bond lasts for 1 hour or until you use this feature again. 2/rest. Chant of help: You can take the Help action as a bonus action to help a creature within 30 ft of you.</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Jack of all trades: You add half your proficiency bonus to all untrained skill check you make. Song of rest (1d6): If you or any friendly creatures who can hear you regain hit points by spending Hit Dice at the end of a rest, each creature regains an extra 1d6 hit points.</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Inspiring help (1d6): When you use the Chant of help bonus action, the creature who receives the help also gains a 1d6 bonus to the d20 roll. If that roll is an attack roll, the creature can forgo adding the bonus to it, and then if the attack hits, the creature can add the bonus to the attack's damage roll against one target. </td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Song of healing (1d8): The extra hit points from Song of rest increase to 1d8.</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>Countercharm: As an action, you can start a performance that lasts until the end of your next turn.
