Bard: Bard Colleges
At 3rd level, a bard gains the Bard College
feature. Here are new options for that feature:
the College of Glamour and the College of
Whispers.
opportunity attacks. It must take the shortest,
safest path to you.
The number of temporary hit points increases
when you reach certain levels in this class,
increasing to 2d8 at 5th level, 2d10 at 10th level,
and 2d12 at 15th level.
Playtest Material
The material here is presented for playtesting and to
spark your imagination. These game mechanics are in
draft form, usable in your campaign but not fully
tempered by design iterations. They are not officially
part of the game. For these reasons, material in this
column is not legal in D&D Adventurers League events.
Enthralling Performance
Starting at 3rd level, you can charge your
performance with seductive fey magic.
If you perform for at least 10 minutes, you can
attempt to inspire wonder in your audience by
singing, reciting a poem, or dancing. At the end
of the performance, choose a number of
humanoids within 60 feet of you who watched
and listened to all of it, up to a number of them
equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of
one). Each target must succeed on a Wisdom
saving throw against your spell save DC or be
charmed by you. While charmed in this way, the
target idolizes you, it speaks glowingly of you to
anyone who speaks to it, and it hinders anyone
who opposes you, avoiding violence unless it
was already inclined to fight on your behalf. This
effect ends on a target after 1 hour, if it takes any
damage, if you attack it, or if it witnesses you
attacking or damaging any of its allies.
If a target succeeds on its save against this
effect, the target has no hint that you tried to
charm it.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a short or long rest.
College of Glamour
The College of Glamour is open to those bards
who mastered their craft in the vibrant, deadly
realm of the Feywild. Tutored by satyrs, eladrin,
and other fey, these bards learn to use their
magic to delight and captivate others.
The bards of this college are regarded with a
mixture of awe and fear. Their performances are
the stuff of legend. The bards of this college are
so eloquent that a speech or song that one of
them performs can cause captors to release the
bard unharmed and can lull a furious dragon
into complacency. The same magic that allows
them to quell beasts can also bend minds.
Villainous bards of this college can leech off a
community for weeks, abusing their magic to
turn their hosts into thralls.
Mantle of Inspiration
When you join the College of Glamour at 3rd
level, you gain the ability to weave a song of fey
magic that enthralls your allies with vigor and
speed.
As a bonus action, you can expend a use of
Bardic Inspiration to grant yourself a wondrous,
otherworldly appearance. When you do so,
choose a number of allies you can see and who
can see you within 60 feet of you, up to a number
of them equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of one). Each target gains 2d6
temporary hit points.
When a target gains these temporary hit points,
it can also use its reaction to move up to its
speed toward you, without provoking
Mantle of Majesty
At 6th level, you gain the ability to cloak yourself
in a fey magic that makes others want to serve
you. As a bonus action, you take on an
appearance of unearthly beauty for 1 minute.
During this time, you can cast command as a
bonus action on each of your turns, without
using a spell slot. This effect lasts for 1 minute,
and any creature charmed by you automatically
fails its saving throw against the spell.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.

Unbreakable Majesty
At 14th level, you gain an otherworldly aspect to
your appearance that makes you look more
fierce and lovely.
In addition, through this feature, you can cast
sanctuary on yourself. If a creature fails its
saving throw against the spell, you also gain
advantage on all Charisma checks against the
creature for 1 minute, and it has disadvantage on
any saving throw it makes against your spells on
your next turn.
Once you cast sanctuary using this feature, you
can’t do so again until you finish a short or long
rest.
Venomous Words
At 3rd level, you learn to infuse innocent-
seeming words with an insidious magic. A
creature that hears you speak can become
plunged into fear and paranoia.
If you speak to a humanoid alone for at least
10 minutes, you can attempt to seed paranoia
and fear into its mind. At the end of the
conversation, the target must succeed on a
Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC
or be frightened for the next hour, until it is
attacked or damaged, or until it witnesses its
allies being attacked or damaged. While
frightened in this way, the target is paranoid and
tries to avoid the company of others, including
its allies. The target seeks out what it considers
the safest, most secret place available to it and
hides there.
If the target succeeds on its save, the target has
no hint that you tried to frighten it.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a short rest or long rest.
College of Whispers
Most folk are happy to welcome a bard into their
midst. Bards of the College of Whispers use this
to their advantage. They appear to be like any
other bard, sharing news, singing songs, and
telling tales to the audiences they gather. In truth,
the College of Whispers teaches its students that
they are wolves among sheep. These bards use
their knowledge and magic to uncover secrets
and turn them against others through extortion
and threats.
Many other bards hate the College of Whispers,
viewing it as a parasite that uses the bards’
reputation to acquire wealth and power. For this
reason, these bards rarely reveal their true
nature unless they must. They typically claim to
follow some other college, or keep their true
nature secret in order to better infiltrate and
exploit royal courts and other settings of power.
Mantle of Whispers
At 6th level, you gain the ability to adopt a
creature’s persona. When you slay a creature
with an attack or a spell or a creature dies within
5 feet of you, you can magically capture its
shadow using your reaction. You can capture
only the shadow of a creature that is your
creature type, such as humanoid, and your size
(you can capture a Small or Medium shadow if
you’re Small), and you can have only one shadow
captured at a time.
After you capture a creature’s shadow, you can
use your magic to weave it into a disguise that
allows you to take on its appearance and gain
access to its surface memories. As an action, you
take on the creature’s appearance for 1 hour or
until you end this effect as a bonus action.
During that hour, you gain access to all
information that the creature would freely share
with a casual acquaintance. Information includes
general details on its background and personal
life, but does not include secrets. The
information is enough that you can pass yourself
off as the creature by drawing on its memories.
Another creature can see through this disguise
by making a Wisdom (Insight) check opposed by
Venomous Blades
When you join the College of Whispers at 3rd
level, you gain the ability to magically make your
weapon attacks toxic for a moment.
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack,
you can expend one use of your Bardic
Inspiration to deal an additional 2d6 poison
damage to that target. You can do so only once
per round on your turn.
The additional damage increases when you
reach certain levels in this class, increasing to
2d8 at 5th level, 2d10 at 10th level, and 2d12 at
15th level.

your Charisma (Deception) check, though you
gain a +5 bonus to your check.
The disguise and the knowledge it grants
disappears when this ability’s duration ends.
Shadow Lore
At 14th level, you gain the ability to weave dark
magic into your words and tap into a creature’s
deepest fears.
As an action, you magically whisper a phrase
that only one creature of your choice within 30
feet of you can hear. The target must make a
Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC.
It automatically succeeds if it doesn’t share a
language with you or if it can’t hear you. On a
successful saving throw, your whisper sounds
like unintelligible mumbling and has no effect.
If the target fails its saving throw, it is charmed
by you for the next 8 hours or until you or your
allies attack or damage it. It interprets the
whispers as a description of its most mortifying
secret. While you gain no knowledge of this
secret, the target is convinced you know it.
While charmed in this way, the creature obeys
your commands for fear that you will reveal its
secret. It won’t risk its life for you or fight for you,
unless it was already inclined to do so. It grants
you favors and gifts it would offer to a close
friend.
When the effect ends, the creature has no
understanding of why it held you in such fear.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.
