The TRUTH about Swords Bard - Hexblade dip⚔️ PERFECT GISH! D&D 5e
Channel: Funky Dungeon Master
Date: 2022-08-12

The Swords Bard is one of the better gish subclass designed on a full caster. Though, it could still use a bit more gish spells in it toolkit, in order to fully realize the spellblade flavor. That's part of the reason why people dip Hexblade on Swords Bard, aside from the obvious Charisma weapon boon. In this video, I discuss how we can fix Swords Bard so it's no longer dependant on the Hexblade dip to feel like a gish character:

I'm an avid consumer of D&D optimization content like Treantmonk and RPGBOT. And I want to use that knowledge to make the game more fun for optimizers and non-optimizers alike.
Thus, born the Thien's Balance Homebrew series for D&D 5th edition 🥂: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOlGNxI48E1xaHdQJCdVRNd0fcSf-aBqT
By making all the player options balanced, I hope to remove trap options for players that don't like to worry much about the nitty-gritty game mechanics. Also, when all the player options are roughly equivalent in power, we can worry a bit less about picking a powerful option and more about which option brings out the flavor we want.
