[...] He has fantastic stats across the board which is what a Bard needs [...]
My Bard has Str 9, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 17.
Two dumpstats. Two maximized stats. Not really a balanced selection, would you agree ?
Works very well though. Just because I play a Bard doesnt mean I have to actually try to be good at everything.
Lae'zel is better as a Battlemaster 6/ paladion 6 Oath of vengeance
You dont get the third attack then though. Or at least according to the PHB you shouldnt. Maybe Larian hasnt implemented this correctly, I dont know.
Otherwise, yes. The weakness of the Battle Master seems to be that there really arent that many good Maneuvers.
Say again ? You lose one feat compared to Fighter 12. Thats a pretty big deal, actually. Since you dont get many feats in the first place.
