    Hey! Guess what. You're Awesome and thanks for watching. I promise this is the best DND tutorial based on a 30 year old Jeff Foxworthy joke you'll ever see. Stick around for more and vote in the comments for which subclass you'd like to next.
    I love bards and you should too. Is the meme finally dead guys? Pick on Rangers, they get kinda boring from now on... lol

    The best part is when you have a DM who lets you flavor your insults do deal different types of damage. Like if an insult is particularly spicy then you also have a chance to do fire damage or if you're make a very detailed description of an attack they may let it happen. Cutting word can be flavored so many ways to make it even more fun

    My personal Countercharm Buff. Use your action and all creatures of your choice within range get to make an immediate saving throw to end all charm or frighten effects on them and they add the bard's charisma modifier as an additional bonus to the saving throw.

    • @VentusTheBest
      @VentusTheBest 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      It's a neat buff to Countercharm. Usually I let player use it for let a number of charmed allies within range to redo the saving throws with advantage to end the charmed status, and they can redo the roll with advantage everytime the bard use this feature.

    Easy fix to Countercharm: Just make it similar to a Paladin aura: All allies within15 to 30 feet of you (maybe the range scales, up to you on what would be considered a balanced range) get advantage to saving throws against being charmed or frightened. Boom, the end. Requiring any actions from the Bard is silly. Their action economy is already pretty busy. Just make this a passive aura and move on.

    Bards are so much fun. Lore Bard still stands out even with the addition of the Eloquence Bard.
    I’m using a Swords Bard with a hex dip in a CoS campaign.
    As far as new sub-classes to look at, I really like the flavor of the Order of Scribes wizard. If you haven’t looked it over, I recommend it. It takes nerd wizard to a whole new level, and can really create some crazy antics for a party.

    Lore Bard is my favorite subclass too, but in my case it's because I like playing nerdy smart characters. Which is why Knowledge Cleric is my favorite Cleric Subclass, and it's virtually unheard of for me to play a character that doesn't have Intelligence or Wisdom in their top three stats, with many of them having both, and absolutely no one having Intelligence as a dump stat, and only my Fighter having Wisdom as a dump stat. (Which is why I call that character an idiot)

      It’s more than the class Mechanics, although that is definitely true. If you don’t have the ability to shit talk and talk shit in real life, they are hard to role play in a way which is really satisfying, fun and memorable to either the player or the party, imo.
      Example - casting Tasha’s hideous laughter is a lot more fun if you can actually think of something funny to say before you cast the spell, even though mechanically it’s unnecessary.

      @@VesiustheBoneCruncher Playing a stereotypical Bard isn't necessary. I played my Lore Bard like an aloof fae creature from the faewild (Eladrin race) and I picked nature themed spells, and support spells. Essentially, a charisma Druid. Point is, the character wasn't charming in the traditional sense, it was more otherworldly and passive, and instead of insults while casting spells, she would whisper dark threats or take on a scary visage. It was a fun, different take on the Bard. (I took web and conjure animals for level 6 magical secrets. Not the most powerful but in theme for the character. I also grabbed the Fae touched feat for misty step, also on theme.)

      @@greyelf1537 yeah, an approach like that is definitely the way 👍. But conceptually it’s hard, as I said. It’s huge fun to come to come up with a character like that, and deeply rewarding.
      My point is more for people setting off into their 5e career, thinking that somehow, playing a stereotypical bard will magically make them one. And it won’t. And it is this class that I feel that role playing skill, which anyone can learn, but takes some people more time, is most exposed.
      Season 1 of DCA was a great example of this, a newbie player (who ended up fantastic, but was painful to start with), who compounded their mechanical confusion with trying to be an emo (further compounding the problem) bard.
      It took *Chris Perkins* an entire season of giving him gold to coax him out of his shell, and to his credit, come out of his shell he did, but it was obviously difficult for everyone, not least the player. Most DMs are not Chris Perkins
