Hi everyone,
I've tried to search on the messageboard whether this question has been asked before, I couldn't find it so I'll ask it myself:
To introduce:
Recently we started a campaign in which I have a young, spontaneous, halfling sorcerer(celestial). (Roleplay out of combat is a huge part of our game btw). Just to illustrate her: in a forest she is looking more for fancy flowers than to where the group is going or any dangers which are ahead. Like I said, she is spontaneous. (A bit extreme).
In the last session we found a flute, she took it and now she is learning how to play. Right away I pictured her playing in combat. So, I decided for her next level to be a bard level. But...
Sorcerers and Bard use the same ability for their spells, does this mean she only gets bonus spells once or for both? I guess both, but I'm not sure.
Also, they both know spells, and have partly the same spell list...Does this mean she knows spells as bard or as sorcerer? Or does she just know the spells independent of her class and can she cast spells she learned as bard using her sorcerer spell slots? (and vica versa)For the spells that are on both lists, I mean.
I guess she just knows spells as bard and can only cast them as bard(or knows spells as sorcerer so only can cast them as sorcerer)...But it can never harm to ask, can it?
Btw, I know it probably sounds strange to combine these classes, but the choice was made with the roleplay in mind. Oh and I plan her to be sorcerer 15/ bard 5.
