Hey, 5e player here. I want to try out a strength-based valor bard, dragonborn with a greatsword. Any tips for getting the most mileage out of that build?
- Lighting is the damage type the fewest MM critters are resistant to
-Bestow Curse may be a third level spell, but one of the options for it is to emulate Hex and Hunter's Mark.

Aw man. I love lightning, but I used that for my last dragonborn character, I wanted to try something different. Opted into Acid this time. I figured maybe I could use it to burn through metal bars at some point.
How aggro should I play a bard with a greatsword? I mean, I'm an off-healer and party-inspirer, on top of the sword-swinging.

Are you looking to make it big in the competitive imaginary monster slaying scene?

They have competitive DnD?
But no, I'm just looking to have fun. I do like my characters to be proficient though, I don't enjoy feeling like a burden to my party.

Bumping. I am planning to make one of these too.

No I was just making fun of you for playing an imaginary fantasy adventure with friends game in a way that makes you go online and ask people not in your game for "builds".
You're not in a fucking Tekken tournament son.

I was looking at a fun variant on this, the grapple bard. I'm deciding if it's viable with a greatsword, and if it would be too hard to build spells around. I'm thinking I'd just need to plan my approaches to encounters well.

Thanks for doing the one thing more menial than that and wasting your time criticizing my question.

I mean, what do you want out of your build? "Strength-based valor bard with a greatsword who is a dragonborn" is most of your decision-making right there, what else do you need? Get a good fightin' feat at level 4 and just have fun I guess.
One of my players is a strength based 1/2orc valor bard. He has his moments...
