A weakness for bards, which would be a strength for some people, is the amount of roleplaying that is necessary for the character. This is an interesting discussion as it is quite a common opinion that bard’s are a very powerful 5e class. This ability by itself is amazing on its own, but when accompanied by the bards’ powerful spellcasting, comfortably provides them the title of the best support class in 5e.
Depending on how you want to play your bard, you can flaunt the combat prowess of a fighter, the dexterous skill set of a rogue, or the magical power of a wizard.īards also get a feature called Bardic Inspiration which allows them to give any party member an extra die to roll on an attack or skill check. The 5e bard is a bit of a jack of all trades. If you want to be silly, clever, and powerful, the bard might be the class for you. The bard class wants you to be gregarious, and it was designed this way on purpose. The bard’s spell list demands that you think outside the box, and their high CHA modifier pushes you to interact with people constantly. Most people who have seen a bard played correctly will agree that bards are one of the most powerful 5e classes, but they are also one of the most difficult to play.
