Top 10 D&D 5e Bard Magic Items | Nerd Immersion

[@goose6752]

Hypnotic Pattern is a charm affect, which makes any of the bardic instruments stupendous.

[@NerdImmersion]

oo good point!

[@WexMajor82]

Few regrets had our DM, beside giving my bard an Instrument.

[@aaronsummers2292]

Dude!!! Loving the class specific magic items!! This provides so much to us DM's, especially to DM's like me who are still wet behind the ears. I can't say Thank you, enough.

[@russellcampbell9796]

Ring of Truth Telling from the Dragon Hiest module. Goes very well with a face build and with any glamered gear. Advantage on insight rolls can change game events dramaticly.

[@Sunstreaker2k5]

I do love the Glamoured Studded Leather armor. I put it on a changeling bard with the actor feat. So essentially Mystique, Morph, or Chameleon. Take your pick. The ultimate infiltrator

[@edwardcatchpole2020]

Thanks you so much for making this video It's always nice to see a content creater listen to their audience and also this is a great video again thanks

[@Wanderingsage7]

Animated shield, any of the instruments preferably one handed, scimitar of speed, circlet of blasting, either of the Elvenkind.

[@NerdImmersion]

well normally bards don't have proficiency in shields, so the animated shield wouldn't be useful to them normally.

[@Wanderingsage7]

@@NerdImmersion fair point thank you

[@blubblubwhat]

One of the original sublasses has it college o war? Also you can take mederatly armored to get shild proficancy! Or levl one dip into hexblade.

[@Natsirt666]

Ring of Spell Storing with the Clerics Revivify spell, and given to the Barbarian or whoever the tank is, in case the Cleric goes down....

[@goofydragon8023]

My bard actually just got a set of glamored studded leather armor my plan is to start using it as part of a disguise to infiltrate

[@blubblubwhat]

This was your best list realy specific for the bard.. other could be a otherclass just aswell.

[@butterflysrage]

I'd love to see an updated version of this with the new magic items in the latest books :)

[@NerdImmersion]

Here's a 2022 version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3a0ZYiblLuSn5Ysi=TmXY1fcjTHenBauL

@@NerdImmersion oh wow! thanks!🤩

[@felixrivera895]

So I just realized that if you combine College of Whispers and Changeling the outcome is terrifyingly efficient

[@NerdImmersion]

That it is.

[@xixxaxxorux5750]

funny enough, I'm creating a bard right now!

[@ThirtytwoJ]

Im surprised you didnt include pipes of haunting that causes a fear area effect or think was pipes of the swarm that summons rats under your control. I know theyre not the most beloved but could fit certain builds well and the can be useful as a battle distraction to buy time and bolster numbers/buff. Unfortunately the build i want to use isnt AL legal so will have to use in home brew games or do a different pact patron. Skull kid from majoras mask. Just cant decide if i want to go warforged or halfling, work the possession angle going chain pact hexblade and the creepy construct angle as a artificer... The whole idea of a steel dino skeleton, human bone skelly with sword n shield, or medium size steel bone dragon construct is appealing af. But him dancing playing pipes of haunting to set the stage while a dino skeleton charges in, little sprite being annoying as hell all just sounds awesome... especially if i can give it dragon breath or cast enlarge... floating and teleporting around the battle field causing mischief. Animating objects and corpses.... No stealing my build.

[@sandervanroosendaal2916]

Great vid! Hope to see the sorcerer having its spotlight soon :D

[@joelarteaga370]

It looks like he is going in alphabetical order so it's gonna be a bit

[@Mangusu]

I was hoping there would be illustrations to help along your explanations.

[@rogerjolly1358]

Who have to hold concentrations for spells in the storage ring?

[@AndrewChumKaser]

Bards can't use scepters as focuses. Scepter is an arcane focus, meaning sorcerers, warlocks and wizards (and some other subclasses) use it as a focus. Bards have the musical instrument focus, which is unique to them. They can still use the other properties of course.

[@5-Volt]

A bunch of people house rules that bards can use arcane foci because the whole instrument thing reinforces the stereotype that bards HAVE to play music.

[@Plantomancer]

Getting ready for a one-shot and I get an uncommon magical item. This was helpful- thank you!

[@Enforcer_Hound1]

What about the deck of illusions?

[@NobodyDungeons]

[@ajbowers44]

[@giraffedragon6110]

Wait... if the cloak of many fashions can mimic the appearance of any magical cloak... what happens if it tries to mimic the cloak of invisibility?

[@NerdImmersion]

I assume the cloak is just invisible

[@eddarby469]

The cloak appears to be an "inactive" cloak of invisibility. NPCs may think you possess one but you do not.

[@Esproth]

More light in the background please.

[@robertenyart9883]

Bring back the Lyre of Building!!!

They did! In Tasha's Cauldron of Everything

This video was uploaded on my birthday :)

[@NerdImmersion]

happy birthday!

[@KiloEchoNovember-yd7ep]

Bards can't use the blast scepter as an arcane focus because bards can't use an arcane focus. The PH clearly says in the Adventuring Gear section, "An arcane focus is a special item - an orb, a crystal, a rod, a specially constructed staff, a wand-like length of wood, or some similar item - designed to channel the power of arcane spells. A sorcerer, warlock, or wizard can use such an item as a spellcasting focus", but not bards. Bards are unique in that they alone can use musical instruments as a focus for their magic.

[@blubblubwhat]

Oha wow didnt realize

[@onepointfive2157]

Hey, nice video first. Anyone maybe got a suggestion for me for a magic item for a Bard of Swords? (Except Dancing Sword) Would really help me out!

[@NerdImmersion]

If you're focused on the sword aspect and actually fighting, it depends on the fighting style. If you're going 2 weapon fighting a dancing sword wouldn't be that useful as you'd be likely using your bonus action to attack with it. I'd say anything that can increase your damage would be good, frost brand, flame tongue, sun blade, etc. I also love the sword of warning for its utility

[@onepointfive2157]

@@NerdImmersion First: Thanks for the fast reply. He explained me his fighting style like this: He want to fight one-handed and nearly wants to "dance" through the enemies while swinging his shortsword. So his dancing expression, combined with some singing could also trigger his bardic magic power, if this makes any sense :D

[@buckveazey3369]

Has he made one for rogues?

[@quillharper2070]

That's next week

[@jackfelder2560]

True or false: in 5e, saying “it can be used as an arcane focus” is meaningless because literally anything can be used as an arcane focus, and every spellcasting class starts with one automatically.

[@NerdImmersion]

Not Rangers until they added it in Tasha's Cauldron

[@GothicOogie]

looked for bard stuff see your sub 69.2K oh yeah its all coming together

[@rogerkreil3314]

Interesting….

[@rpgtrainer]

Love the video. First video of yours I've watched. With that being said, please figure out your audio. Pay someone or I don't know. Audio levels are all over the place. Then the ads were super loud, the number splash screen were Los then your overall voice was quiet

you said alphabetical order.. I feel left out with my Arcane Archer ;)

[@milanivkovic1680]

Gloves of Theiving not on Rogue? Lockpicking is the Rogues thing ( or at least intended to) slight of hand too. And if you have expertise in them your passive roll is 32. And yet its on Bards, which gets a benefit from jack of all trades but dex might not be as high so whats the point

[@joshcox5668]

Might have been other better options for Rogue (havent seen the video) than the Gloves of Thieving

[@ShaggySasquach4231]

Bards aren’t always about damage-gives 3 generic items that do spell damage followed by generic “you do spells have more spells”. Way to not embrace bard in any way

[@ChrisCox-wv7oo]

what's your top 10?

[@nooksak1]

The adds playing in the middle makes me stop watching

[@charliescheirmann2926]

So what your saying is, you don't like supporting youtubers?

[@llewelynshingler2173]

When you don't have Goodberry, you make do with what you have.

[@varietasVeritas]

10 great items, and bards still suck.

[@tobilud6104]

Gotta think creatively with that support. Nothing like using dissonant whispers to take on a gorgon.

[@5-Volt]

Bards certainly do not suck in 5e.

[@shaylic3795]

It’s the best support class in my opinion. You are the second best counterspeller behind abjuration wizard, you have a wide selection of spells that have multiple uses. You are a skill monkey. You can heal. You can steal great spells like destructive wave, banishing smite, and swift quiver before paladin and rangers since you are a full caster. Dipping in another class can give you a ton of options.

[@d6andd-pads656]

Not true. College of Glamour might be the most powerful support class in the game, all while being absolutely fabulous. And no class suck if you have fun playing them.

[@varietasVeritas]

@@d6andd-pads656 Ok, I'll be the fighter and you can be the cheerleader.
