Multiclassing further for three Bard levels with the College of Lore subclass adds a total of four skills and two Expertise selections.

One cleric level with the Knowledge Domain adds another two proficient, Expertise-enhanced skills. The Scout subclass for Rogue adds two skill proficiencies along with Expertise. The build should include 11 Rogue levels for the Reliable Talent feature which treats proficient skill check rolls of 9 or lower as a 10. There are 18 skills in 5e D&D, and a skill master can become proficient in every one of them, with Expertise in more than half offering double their proficiency bonus to checks. One of the most complex Dungeons & Dragons character build approaches that offers unconventional power, entirely focused outside of combat, is a D&D skill master. The latter approach can yield superior damage when combined with a Longbow and attuned Bracers of Archery. Ranged Bards can do the same, or they can learn the Ranger spell Swift Quiver which allows for two bonus action attacks when using a ranged weapon.

Melee-focused battle Bards can learn Haste, which combined with Extra Attack and Polearm Master allows them to attack four times per round.

The College of Valor subclass gives the Bard the Extra Attack feature, while the Bard’s Magical Secrets feature lets it learn valuable buff spells not normally on the Bard spell list. More experienced players looking for a versatile character can build a D&D battle Bard, which follows similar principles to the builds that leverage Polearm Master and Crossbow Expert.
