Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General My bard: lore or valor?

I played with a valor str based bard because I like melee characters better. It works well.
As Saito said combat inspiration is not working as in intended in DnD which is sad. It also add a bit of "toggle management" that's not really fun (what to enable, what to disable).

I'm not a fan of "more" skill proficiencies with Lore but at least, Cutting words is great.
You can use your reaction during your turn (yes, like your actions and BA) to use it. On top of that the effect of the feature last for one full turn. It's a very powerfull debuff.
