Bard spells that benefit from +1 CL


Advice


So in RoTRL i took the following Trait:

Lore Seeker:
Lore Seeker

The secrets of the ancient fallen civilization of Thassilon intrigue you, particularly the magical traditions of its highly mystical culture. You’ve studied magic intensely, and hope to increase that knowledge by adding Thassilonian lore. You’ve come to Varisia to pursue that study, and chose Sandpoint as your base because it was out of the way of bigger cities—meaning less competition to study the ancient monuments in the region, you hope!

Benefit You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (arcana) checks, and Knowledge (arcana) is a class skill for you. If you cast arcane spells, pick three spells on your spell list. You are particularly adept at casting these spells, so they function at +1 caster level when you cast them, and their save DCs (if any) gain a +1 bonus.

Havent Picked my spells yet.


Bump?

doh forgot to put my class. Arcane Duelist Bard.


Ear-Piercing Scream? +1 Caster Level would approximate damage to a magic missile.

Heroism or other long duration buffs. Good Hope later down the line, with a Metamagic Rod of Extend, may be worth it.

Touch of Gracelesness for effectiveness at low levels.

Hideous Laughter similarly will make the spell worth casting at low levels.

Those are the main ones I can think of.


Well bards aren't very blasty so I can't see you get a lot of mileage out of damage. Buffs eventually become almost all day anyway, and how much time you take can vary from GM to GM. Anything in particular your looking at when you go through the list?

Better Cure Light Wounds.


Cure light wounds would only get a +1 to the amount it heals, and as a spontaneous 6 level caster those spell slots are precious. Also spells know. Best to wand that or infernal healing.
