For future reference for a lot of people new to DnD in general, the early levels are super RNG-heavy because you don't have much in the way of abilities that will help boost your AC/attack, and spells that target saving throws and still inflict half damage even if the enemy fails. That's why running to high ground and backstabs are so powerful right now, there's pretty much no other alternatives in comparison.
Once Bard is a thing, I imagine Dissonant Whispers/Shatter spam is going to be the name of the game for them. In the context of this game's rules, College of Valor Bard especially seems like it's going to be one of the most busted all-around classes you can take. Skill monkey, full caster progression, martial weapon/medium armor/shield proficiency for tanking and decent archery/melee damage on top of that.
