Key Abilities
Combat Inspiration (Level 3): You can use your Bardic Inspiration die to grant allies bonus AC when they're hit by an attack or add damage to their own attacks, offering both defensive and offensive versatility.
Martial Training (Level 3): Gain proficiency with martial weapons, medium armor, and shields. This ability also allows you to use simple or martial weapons as a spellcasting focus, increasing your survivability in combat.
Extra Attack (Level 6): Attack twice when you take the Attack action on your turn. Additionally, you can cast a cantrip in place of one of those attacks, enhancing the Gish playstyle.
Battle Magic (Level 14): After casting a spell with a casting time of an action, you can make a weapon attack as a bonus action. This boosts your action economy, making you a formidable spellblade.
