I am a level 7 Ghostwise Halfling Valor Bard with 11 Str, 20 Dex, 14 Con, 14 Int, 10 Wis, 16 Cha. I have a 20 AC with +1 studded leather and shield. I have the Sentinel and Blade Mastery feat. I have a +1 Rapier that I've been using but just got my hands on a +2 Scimitar of Speed which I love for this character. I know it competes with my Inspiration dice for my bonus action but it's still a great weapon for this character basically giving me 3 attacks most rounds.
I want to get this little guy as good as possible in melee. I'm torn between multiclassing next level or waiting until after level 10's Magical Secrets.
If I stay til level 10, what are some good magical secret spells? I was thinking either Haste, Holy Weapon, or Spirit Guardians. I don't want to load down on concentration spells though. Maybe Armor of Agathys would be a good pick. Plus the Lore Bard already has Haste.
I thought about 1-3 levels of Fighter for Dueling Style, Second Wind, Action Surge, and possible Battlemaster goodies.
Hexblade sounds interesting. Many features overlap, and I would still use Dex to attack, but Hexblade's Curse sounds good and I could get Armor of Agathys, Shield, and Wrathful Smite.
I'm considering 3-7 levels of Swashbuckler. Sentinel would allow me to pull off some extra sneak attacks. Uncanny Dodge and Evasion help greatly with the toughness I'm looking for.
I want Warcaster next chance I get. I wouldn't mind Mobile at some point.
Thoughts?
