r/DnD on Reddit: Which spells/cantrips for my Bard?
September 6, 2023 -

Hey Everyone, I've created a character called Bragi Evermourn a Half Elf bard who used to be a celebrity with a music group called Mithrillica. He's studied music all his life and travelled the world. He however has gone through a lot of tradegy within his family and has developed a serious and fatal heart condition. His heart beats so loud that people can hear it when they are close by. So he left the band to spare his team the burden and is now using his heart and his well music to put smiles on faces and find some real meaning to existence. Oh and his main intrument is a variation of a Harmonium. Which is pretty much a portable piano.

I'm hoping for some help in terms spells and cantrips that make sense for his character. He will be starting the campaign at level 3 and I'm thinking of going the Creation Bard route. I like the idea of putting his whole heart into his music that it can actually take some form. I've only played a campaign once before this and that was a barbarian so I don't have to much experience with spells and cantrips.

So back to the original question. What spells do you reccomend in terms of a good build or more importantly flavour in regards to my character whether now or at future levels? Thanks ahead of time for any advice!

October 23, 2025 - Extra Attack for a breakdown of the math comparing melee cantrip spells to normal martial attacks. True Strike (PHB): Typically you’ll get better results from attacking twice rather than using this then attacking once. Vicious Mockery (PHB): Easily the most iconic bard spell, Vicious Mockery is unique, flavorful, and mechanically fantastic.

Answer (1 of 2): Vicious Mockery is probably going to be the most common go to cantrip for Bards as it has a good range (60ft), grants Disadvantage to their next attack, and got a bump in damage going from 1d4 to 1d6 in the edition revision.
