Shillelagh & True Strike ?

Quote from Ophidimancer >>

Valor Bard can access both of those spells by level 10 and can make great use of them since they can cast Cantrips as part of their Extra Attack.

 Magical secrets only applies to prepared spells, not cantrips.  Lore bards can do it with magical discoveries tho.

Well that's annoying.

You can multiclass. :-)

I was trying to do it without, and all it takes is the Guide Background with Magic Initiate: Druid.

If you have a High Elf Druid you can have both Shillelagh and true strike from lvl 1 with WIS mod. No multiclassing needed :)

Thanks for pointing that out! I also wanted to have Hextra Attack (Cantrip Friendly Extra Attack) and build an actual gish, so Valor Bard with the Guide Background works just fine.

Bard with magic initiative Druid can take both.

 A high elf of any class can have both by using magic initiate.  There's ways to do it, but the player is committing their character to using a club or staff in the process.  I think Shillelagh takes planning around, especially if there's a feat cost to acquire it.

BTW.

Arcana Domain Cleric with Magic Initiate(Druid) can deal a fair bit of damage each round. The "Arcane Initiate" feature can take True Strike, Booming Blade or Green-flame Blade. And the cantrips will count as Cleric spells. With True Strike and War Caster the reaction attacks is pretty strong too. I have played a Firbolg Arcana Cleric with Guide background with this option in a Curse of Stradh campaign and had lots of fun. 

So a Level 7 Arcana Domain Cleric with Wisdom 18 = Shillelagh(1d10+4) +True Strike(1d6)+Potent Spellcasting(+4)= 1d10+1d6+8(Radiant/Force/Bludeoning). An alternative is to use a Heavy Crossbow and deal similar damage if the Cleric is a Divine Order "Protector" with atleast a Dexterity 13 . and if you have atleast Strength 13 you could use a Maul or a Greatsword for 2d6 weapon damage instead of using the Shillelagh. But I wanted to use a shield so I choose Shillelagh.
