    Default Any third party content with bard as a half caster?

    Full caster bard is one of the 5E changes I don't like. Rather than just homebrew a top spell level of 6 and call them half casters, has anyone else already done this?

    So it may be worth taking a look in there if there is anything else.

    I make no guarantee of quality, but at least it's something you can start at.

    Half-casters top out at 5th actually (see Artificer, Paladin, Ranger).

    Galder's Gazetteer has a half caster bard, and its main mechanic are performances. They can emulate spells and do some unique stuff, and does a good job of giving them power without just being another full caster.
