After being DM for a long time, I'm starting to be a player at D&D5. We are going to play in the Greyhawk, in the Caliphate of Ekbir. The main race is by far humans. All the other races are exotic.
We are 6 players in the group : A Ranger, A Wizard, A Cleric, A Fighter and A Paladin. Plus me as Bard.
Looking at the group composition, I don't need to have a martial archetype. There is enough in the group already. To distinguish myself from the others, I believe I should play more a roguish style and support.
So it leaves 3 archetypes : Lore, Glamour and Whispers.
Lore : More skills and more spells. It's always useful
Glamour : I'm not sure. I have some difficulties to imagine what I can do with that archetype.
Whispers : I like the concept but I don't know if it's good or not.
Which one would fit better in such group?
And any support for creating a good build? (avoiding multiclassing) Which feat or spells should I take? How should I play a bard in a fight?
