    \$\begingroup\$ What is your characters goal here? Are you doing other primary actions that you don’t want to replace or are you looking to replace those? Or are you just asking what actions available with strength? I’m that last one seems too broad, though. I think k we need to narrow down what you are looking for. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 17:17
  • \$\begingroup\$ @NotArch I've already seen posts and forums about how strength is used, so that isn't my question. My understanding of what a bard is is a support class that specializes in casting spells from the rear, or, in the case of its martial subclasses, as a spell-sword on the frontline that needs dexterity for a high AC. Neither of those options are very viable for my current layout, and so I'm understandably a little bumfuzzled. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 17:20

    \$\begingroup\$ What do you think your role as a bard is? And don't say "support" because that's really vague. The main answer so far is selecting a melee focussed role, but that's not what I would expect when I think of a usual bard role. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 22:54

    \$\begingroup\$ This is much better 🙂, more questions though, because you already have what seems a reasonable plan on terms of multiclassing to make better use of your stats. Are you fixed to creation and artificer? I assume so because that tracks with the apparatus magic item, but it means answers like "use X class" are not useful \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 8, 2023 at 22:47
