The Bard is one of the most underappreciated classes in Dungeons & Dragons 5E<\/em>, and, in turn, it’s quite useful in Baldur’s Gate 3<\/em> as well. It functions as a pure support caster<\/strong> that uses Charisma<\/strong> to work its music. Their spell list is low damage<\/strong> but high utility<\/strong>, featuring many buffs and debuffs<\/strong> for combat and several problem-solving spells<\/strong> for out-of-combat. It is also one of the few classes that can learn Healing Word<\/strong>, a critical healing spell for an optimal party.<\/p>
In a creative group, the Bard can easily handle most skill checks and raise the party’s damage ceiling significantly. However, if you want to be strong a fighting early, it’s important to work towards level three early by killing Commander Zhalk<\/a> and advancing towards your College! <\/p>
