My Lore bards generally DON'T want to be in melee so I have Thunderwave. Its an AOE which can get you out of melee sometimes.

I'e pimped Counterspell a couple times. Shield is nifty though.

Fireball is really neat. By he time you get it you may not need Shatter unless you are targeting a different save.

Any tricky Ranger or Paladin spells that interest you besides Fireball? Bards can cast Ranger and Paladin spells better than Rangers and Paladins.

Fear is fun also, especially if you are playing a small non intimidating looking Bard.
I think the best paladin and ranger spells come in with the level 10 magical secrets.
