Should you multiclass a Bard?
Multiclassing a Bard can be a great way for them to do a little more than trying to seduce every dragon they come across. The Bard has also risen as an ideal multiclass option, with the most important ability score being Charisma, which it shares with other spellcasting and melee classes.
What level should a Bard multiclass?
You could choose Paladin as your core class, but Bards at level 10 and 14 get magical secrets to learn 2 highest spells from any class. Thus, it would be more beneficial to use Bard as your core class, as you can get two high-level Paladin spells that would not be available to Paladins who multiclass with Bard.
Is it possible to be a bard at Level 1?
It seems one is always better off taking a level of any other full caster instead (Sorcerer should at least be always possible assuming amicable DM, but a Bard probably has 13 Int or Wis for Wizard/Cleric/Druid too), or even a level of any class which gives you anything at level 1.
Which is the best multiclass for a bard?
Action Surge is good for spellcasters that want to cast more than one spell a turn, but bards don’t have a whole lot of options that drastically benefit from this in the way that, say, a sorcerer would. Mostly this multiclass is good for bards who want better defense but don’t want to take a martial-focused bard subclass. Not much meshes here.
Can a bard 4 cast a second level spell?
Yes. A Bard 4 / Cleric 4 can cast four first level spells and three second level spells per day (and a few higher level spells). These could be all cleric spells, all bard spells, or a mix between the two. You make the choice as you cast the spells (as always).
When do you use master’s flourish on a bard?
The Sword Bard’s 14th level ability Master’s Flourish divorces their Blade Flourish abilities from the resource pool of their Bardic Inspiration: Starting at 14th level, whenever you use a Blade Flourish option, you can roll a d6 and use it instead of expending a Bardic Inspiration die.
