Hi Playgrounders
I'm going to be starting a new campaign soon that i think will be starting at either lv 1 or 3. I'm really wanting to play a bard because i love the idea of them and i have presented my character concept to the DM and he likes it.
Basically its he is a noble human who has doesn't have to worry about keeping appearances so much as he is last in line to represent his family. Anyway long story short he thinks of himself as a bit of cat-burglar stealing from other noble families and institutes, not for the money, but for the thrill and a test of skills. In a fight i imagine him darting in and out being very acrobatic and maybe using a blade and dagger and then falling back on spells when he doesn't want to jump in but not sure yet
I'm having trouble with how to get this to work mechanics wise. i'm thinking college of swords (the new one) or lore maybe with a multi-class into rogue for a 1 to 3 level dip. Not sure if the Rogue MC is a good idea as it would delay my spell casting a lot. Or the feat to pick up expertise theives tools or something along those lines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TLDR how would you make a bard thief?
