I continue to look about for anything odd or out of place as we complete our route. I look for tracks and keeps an eye out for any more tracks like what we just encountered.

I believe I updated everything, counting skills, hit points, attack, saves, and spells. Come to find out I had forgotten Bard have access to cure spells by default.

Admittedly, I need to decide if I want to actually commit to a Divine Bard.

I was originally, but that was with the assumption I'd be using the official variant from Unearthed Arcane which basically changed spellcasting from arcane to divine and added additional spells to the list.

Yet when the KNtoran said he was only willing to let me use a different Divine Bard that gave up a fair few things, some of which I really didn't want to give up. It has technically been undecided since then.

I honestly don't know what to do, I mostly wanted such for flavor not for any major mechanical effects.

Less skills, alternate list of class skills, losing completely Bardic Knowledge, limitations on who can be targeted by Bardic Music. What I get in return is access to two domains, which don't mean nearly as much as in Pathfinder and wasn't something I really wanted. It basically gives bonus spells and some minor abilities, some better then others.

A bard does not have access to second level spells until they make level 4. If you can make that change on your sheet.

Ah, I see my mistake. They have spells known at 2nd level but a Bard can't cast them because the Spells per Day uses. My apologizes, fixing that now.

... Wait, what? Why would one have spells known if they can't even use them? Sighs.

Check again Thomas, a second level bard knows 5 level 0 spells (Also called cantrips), and 2 level 1 spells.

Gah, okay seems I was completely misreading stuff. One moment please and I will again try to get things fixed. It was five cantrips not five1st level spells.

A divine bard does not draw from the arcane lists but the divine lists thus your cantrips are wrong use the clerical or divine zero level spells. The first level spells look fine.

Which Divine Bard?

Remember I haven't actually decided in full I want that given which Divine Bard you said I'd have to use. In all honestly, I may go with other options such as feats to represent a more divine influence as I don't want to give up as much the version you found requires

Yet if I had to pick Amanuensis: Copy nonmagical text (Spell Compendium, p9), Light, Guidance, Resistance, Mending.
