Leveling up to 8. Looking for thoughts on the next spell choice and ASI. Thinking of learning Greater Invisibility as a get out of danger spell because of the low HP and AC. Unlearning Faerie Fire and replacing with Silence. ASI +2 CHAR. Thoughts?
High Elf Lore Bard
Fey Touched (Misty Step and Identify once per long rest)
STR: 11
DEX: 12
CON: 12
INT: 13
WIS: 13
CHAR: 18
HP: 49
AC: 15
Level 1:
Disguise Self
Dissonant Whispers
Faerie Fire
Healing Word
Level 2:
Invisibility
Shatter
Suggestion
Level 3:
Dispel Magic
Tiny Hut
Level 4:
Polymorph
Magical Secrets:
Counterspell
Fireball
Instrument of the Bards:
Fly, invisibility, levitate, protection from evil and good, entangle, faerie fire, shillelagh, speak with animals (each spell once per day)
I definitely recommend the +2 Chr to get the maximum effectiveness on all your bard abilities. Cutting Words getting one more use per short rest is great. All your saves and DC going up another step is great.
I also use counterspell as a magical secrets spell at level 6. I use Dispel Magic as a spell as well for much the same reason. Polymorph is one of the best spells in the game. I use Invisibility as a spell because it can be used both in combat and outside combat. Dissonant Whispers and Healing Word are top level choices too. Fireball is a signature spell, so that is a solid choice. Most of the rest are all strong choices that fit with your playstyle.
I like pairing silence with invisibility. I assume you have Prestidigitation and Vicious Mockery and I like Mending, but there are other cantrips that are better mechanically. I'd never give up on prestidigitation, but that is a personal choice.
You've got a solid build and you probably fit very well with your party. Good luck.
I love Crown of Madness as a 2nd level spell. Personal choice but pisses the DM off everytime an NPC has to attack who ever I say. Nothing better than forcing the warrior to turn around and swing at the Wizard you are fighting.
