Working on a Swords Bard build but could use some help. The plan is to adventure for 20 levels so I'm planning to take bard to 18, gotta get wish. XBE & Sharpshooter feats for sure. The question is do I dip Hexblade or Fighter (or both), how many levels and when do I take the dips? Other suggestions welcome.
1 level of Hexblade is all you really need to pair with a Swords Bard. While 2 would get you access to Invocations, I personally feel it is not worth delaying spell progression and Extra Attack by 2 levels.
I'm playing a Hexblade Swords bard now, level 11 only one warlock level. It works well, I only plan for the one level in warlock. I can literally shutdown an encounter with a spell or just wade in swinging and have fun either way.
