Does the Bard get any good concentration spells in 5e? I'm sure they do, but I can't think of any off the top of my head right now.

Sort by: Bard + Concentration. To name but 2: Greater Invisibiltiy and Polymporph.

The problem with bards kinda is that almost all their best spells are concentration spells, so yeah...

I'd say you exagerate a bit, but just a bit indeed... :smallbiggrin:

@NotADragonYet: just a very few examples...
1st: Faerie Fire, Bane.
2nd: Heat Metal, Enhance Ability, Silence, Hold Person
3rd: Fear, Catnap, Stinking Cloud, Bestow Curse.
4th: Greater Invisibility, Polymorph
5th: Animate Objects, Dominate Person, Dream
6th: Eyebite, Skill Empowerment (just discovered this one must be from Xanathar's, it's stupidly good), Mass Suggestion.
7th: Project Image? Kinda niche uses but fun to use. Very few concentration spells at that level though.
8th: Dominate Monster: only concentration of that level, good thing it's good.
9th: Mass & True Polymorph.
AND that is not accounting for Magic Secrets which give you access to many great concentration spells from other classes such as Healing Spirit, Spirit Guardians, Circle of Power, Shadow Blade, Shapechange...
