The bard spell list needs some help. As a full caster its kind of strange they only get 2 6th level spells to choose from, and that logical spells like mass healing word isn't present.

The easy way would be to loyally follow the official 5e, including the expanded spell lists from the expansion books. That way the bard would get mirror image etc. too.

As a melee bard, I try to avoid spells with saving throws witch is easy in d&d and very hard here since they have so few of those spells.

Now all my spell slots go to my magical secrets- Counterspell and Spirit Guardians.

But they also nerfed magical secrets. Just found out about that as I reached lvl 6, going to respec to something else, I guess.

Faithful DnD representation my ass...

College of Lore bards can now pick which additional skill proficiency they receive. Bards that are already of the College of Lore need to respec to get this choice.

Added spells to bards' Magical Secrets feature: Banishing Smite, Animate Dead, Crusader's Mantle, Hunger of Hadar, Revivify, Sleet Storm, Rage of Enfeeblement, Web, Entangle, Hunter's Mark, Sanctuary, Thunderous Smite, Bone Chill, Eldritch Morphic Blast, Fire Bolt, Ray of Frost, Sacred Flame.

Still not all spells, mind you, but at least the selection is better.
