Want to summon Celestials, you can do that, want metor storm, you can have it as well, want bless you can have it, want some smites you can have it, want Hex and Hunters Mark you can have it, you can just cherry pick spells.  And of your a skill money to revival the Rogue and Knowledge Cleric. The Bard is insanely versitile, its the closest class to building your own class in the game. Personally I think a Half Elf Bard with Pirate background would be really cool, college of Lore for additional magical secrets cutting words, and extra skill prof, and Peerless Skill, from the College of Lore. I'd have prof in 3 Musical Instruments, Athletics, Perception, Naviators Tools, Water Vechiles, Elvish, Common, one other Language, and no less then 8, yes 8 other skills. For Magical Secrets Find Steed, Wrathful Smite, Animate Object, Conjure Woodland Beings, Mordenkainen's Mansion, Summon Celestial, Wish.  Welcome to the magical verison of the Dread Pirate Roberts ;p  For 8 skills I'm thinking of Bluff, Persauasion, Perform, Stealth, Arcana, Acrobatics, Survival, Religion, plus gaining Athletics and Perception from Pirate. I was surprised by how cool the Bard is. I was disppointed that find steed got nerfed.</blockquote>
