I am trying to decide what levels to take for my endgame. Currently bard 5/fighter 3. I was planning on going b6/f14 but considering b14-15/f5-6 because of how op high level spells are. My party consists of me and a level 8 warlock, so I took on the Frontline role. I have dual wielding so I don't want to just waste that feat either. For magical secrets (b6) I want lightning bolt but haven't decided on another spell yet. Any and all tips/advice are appreciated!
Just for reference my stats are:
Str 10 Dex 18 Con 17 Int 15 Wis 11 Cha 18
Ac 17 (studded leather armor/ring of protection) (+1 for dual wielding or +2 from shield)
Well an interesting concept which I applaud. You have the ability scores for it...not knowing which class you took first...you would have had better armor / weapons options if you went Fighter 1st...perhaps you did. Regarding your class split, you would get more ASI's and more powerful spells if you went 8 bard/12 Fighter. 7 F9ghter / 13 Bard would give you another magical secrets plus access to 7th level spells. For magical secrets I would drop LB, its just good at low levels and even Fireball would give you Area of Effect hitting more creatures. Spells I'd consider are Haste for more AC, more attacks, and double speed, or Fly, or Spirit Guardians for more dmg and crowd control.
I know this is an old post but I thought I'd add my two cents. Good Luck.
So, if you still around what did you decide? Im on my 2nd character, lore Bard. 1st character was a Fighter. Was actually considering a Purple Dragonknight cause i wanted to be a charismatic support type fighter. Spellcasting looked to involved to grasp at first. But i was sueded by reviews to stay clear of the PDK. I looked to how to make a TPK/Bard work, but gave up. Thinking a Battlemaster could make a better PDK with Inspiring Leader and maneuvers like commanding strike.
