College of Heraldry

Focusing on being the herald of the adventuring party, both representing them to the world, as well as inspiring them and reminding them of their purpose, potential, and prowess in times of stress.

College of Heraldry Features

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Heraldry at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with one skill, chosen from History, Religion, Performance. You also gain expertise in one of those skills that you have proficiency in: your proficiency bonus is doubled when performing checks with the selected skill.

Enchanting Inspiration

Also at 3rd level, you learn to imbue your inspiring words and music with deeper magic. When you give Bardic Inspiration, you may choose to spend a spell slot instead of one of your Bardic Inspiration Dice - if you do so, you may create and hand out Bardic Inspiration dice to one or more different creatures, and those dice last until your next short or long rest. The dice are d6s, and you can hand out a number of them equal to 1 + the level of the spent spell slot - you may give more than one of these to the same character, but they can only spend one die on any given roll.

Song of Courage

Beginning at 6th level, you may spend a minute performing a moving speech or song for your allies during a short or long rest - at the end of that period, all affected characters gain some special- purpose Bardic Inspiration dice (of whatever type you normally give) until their next short or long rest:

• One die that can be used on any save
• One die that can be used on any check
• One die that can be used on any attack
• One die that can be spent as a bonus action or as a reaction to taking damage, and gives temporary hit points equal to the value rolled.

Inspiring Presence

Starting at 14th level, as a reaction to an ally within 10 feet of you that you can see attempting an attack or save, you may give them a d6 to add to that roll. You must do so before they roll the dice, and may not do so again until the end of your next turn.
