🦸♀️(Legacy) 5e - Bard🦸♀️
Kurzbeschreibung
A charismatic performer who uses their music as a conduit to wield powerful magic.
Bildrechts
Humming as she traces her fingers over an ancient monument in a long-forgotten ruin, a half-elf in rugged leathers finds knowledge springing into her mind, conjured forth by the magic of her song—knowledge of the people who constructed the monument and the mythic saga it depicts.
A stern human warrior bangs his sword rhythmically against his scale mail, setting the tempo for his war chant and exhorting his companions to bravery and heroism. The magic of his song fortifies and emboldens them.
Laughing as she tunes her cittern, a halfling weaves her subtle magic over the assembled nobles, ensuring that her companions’ words will be well received.
Whether scholar, skald, or scoundrel, a bard weaves magic through words and music to inspire allies, demoralize foes, manipulate minds, create illusions, and even heal wounds.
Learning from Experience
True bards are not common in the world. Not every minstrel singing in a tavern or jester cavorting in a royal court is a bard. Discovering the magic hidden in music requires hard study and some measure of natural talent that most troubadours and jongleurs lack. It can be hard to spot the difference between these performers and true bards, though. A bard’s life is spent wandering across the land gathering lore, telling stories, and living on the gratitude of audiences, much like any other entertainer. But a depth of knowledge, a level of musical skill, and a touch of magic set bards apart from their fellows.
Only rarely do bards settle in one place for long, and their natural desire to travel—to find new tales to tell, new skills to learn, and new discoveries beyond the horizon—makes an adventuring career a natural calling. Every adventure is an opportunity to learn, practice a variety of skills, enter long-forgotten tombs, discover
lost works of magic, decipher old tomes, travel to strange places, or encounter exotic creatures. Bards love to accompany heroes to witness their deeds firsthand. A bard who can tell an awe-inspiring story from personal experience earns renown among other bards. Indeed, after telling so many stories about heroes accomplishing mighty deeds, many bards take these themes to heart and assume heroic roles themselves.

Becoming a Bard
When creating your Bard, the most important thing for you to consider is your Bard’s Muse, or inspiration. Do they seek out beauty in the world, writing ballads and songs inspired by the sights they see? Maybe they find their inspiration in tales of selfless heroism and travel the world seeking the next hero of the realm? Or, maybe the lure of power and influence is what drives your Bard to travel the land gathering lore and magic.
Also, consider your Bard’s preferred style of performance and how it makes them unique from other Bards. Are they a virtuoso, known throughout the land for their skill with their signature musical instrument? Or, are they a rowdy teller of tales who only performs in the cheapest tavern in each town?

Level 1: Art Speciality
No bard is complete without their instrument. Be it a flute, a lute, or even your own voice, you learn how to make art your greatest weapon for influencing the battlefield. For the purposes of spellcasting, any musical instrument that you have proficiency with counts as a spell focus. Although spells can be cast without these instruments, only targets that are able to perceive your performance can benefit from this feature. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, choose one of the following to be your Art Specialty:
Percussion (Casabas, Castanets, Drums, Maracas): Any instrument played by being struck or scraped (either by other instruments or against each other) qualifies as a percussion instrument. When using this musical art as a spell focus, you double the ranges of bard spells. A spell that has a range of Touch increases its range to 30 feet.
String Instruments (Dulcimer, Harp, Lute, Lyre, Violin): String instruments are played by plucking and twanging strings. When using this musical art as a spell focus, whenever you cast a bard spell, that targets exactly one allied creature, you can target an additional creature within 10 feet of you.
Visual (Calligraphy, Dance, Light Manipulation, Shapes): There are many ways to undertake a visual performance whether through illustration, illusion magic, or legerdemain. When using this art as a spell focus, whenever you cast a bard spell you may choose to make an ally able to see you the point of origin of that spell. You must be able to see any targets of the spell.
Voice (Humming, Insults, Oration, Singing): When using this musical art as a spell focus, you can add an expertise die to checks made to maintain concentration on a bard spell.
Wind Instruments (Bagpipes, Flute, Horn, Ocarina, Trombone): Any instrument played by passing air through it qualifies as a wind instrument. When using this musical art as a spell focus, whenever you cast a bard spell you can make a Deception or Performance check. Any observers with a passive Insight score equal to or less than the result of your check do not see or hear you cast the spell. Once you have used this feature three times, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest
Level 1: Bardic Inspiration
You can supernaturally inspire others through ords, music, or dance. This inspiration is epresented by your Bardic Inspiration die, which starts as a d6.
Using Bardic Inspiration: As a Bonus Action, you can inspire another creature within 60 feet of yourself who can see or hear you. That creature gains one of your Bardic Inspiration dice. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.
Once within the next hour when the creature fails a d20 Test, the creature can roll that die and add the number rolled to the d20, potentially turning the failure into a success. A Bardic Inspiration die is expended when it’s rolled.
Number of Uses: You can confer a Bardic Inspiration die a number of times equal to your CHA modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
At Higher Levels: Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain Bard levels, as shown in the Bardic Die column of the Bard table.
Regaining Uses: If you have no uses of Bardic Inspiration left, you can give yourself uses by expending a spell slot (no action required). The total amount of regained bardic inspiration is equal to the level of the spell slot your expended. You can do so only once per turn.
Level 1: Battle Hymn
Like music, battle can be wild and chaotic, and through the sensible use of formula and talent order can be brought with a dedicated change of tune. You learn one battle hymn. It can be expressed in any way you like — a special leitmotif in your music, a change in pitch, or even a more advanced version of your favorite art.
Once at the start of your turn, you can activate a battle hymn by expending a use of Bardic Inspiration (no Action is required). Performing a battle hymn requires your concentration, as though you were casting a spell. Once activated, a battle hymn continues until you lose concentration or the start of your next turn. The number of battle hymns you know are listed in the Battle Hymns Known column of the Bard table.
Whenever you gain a bard level, you may swap one battle hymn you know for a new battle hymn.
Audience: Unless stated otherwise a battle hymn does not have a target until you choose one, and each targets a single creature within 30 feet. You may choose to target a creature at any point, but after targeting a battle hymn its target cannot be changed.
Sustained Song: When you have an activated battle hymn but have not chosen a creature to benefit from it yet, at the start of your turn when it would end you can instead choose to sustain the battle hymn until the start of your next turn without expending a use of Bardic Inspiration.
| Bard Level | Battle Hymn |
|---|---|
| 1st-4th | Harmony of Pain. The creature gains a number of temporary hit points equal to one roll on your Bardic Inspiration Die. |
| Overbearing Rhythm. An attacker targeting the creature has DISADV on its attack roll. | |
| Song of Clarity. At the start of the creature’s turn, if it is not at 0 hit points the creature may expend and roll one of its hit dice to regain hit points. | |
| 5th-8th | Bastions of Justice. The creature gains a bonus to Saves equal to your CHA modifier (minimum +1). |
| Call to Arms. The creature can roll one additional weapon damage die on its weapon attacks. If the creature makes weapon attacks on its next turn and misses, you can sustain this battle hymn for 1 round without expending a use of Bardic Inspiration. | |
| Placid Tones. The creature adds one expertise die to INT, WIS, or CHA ability checks. | |
| 9th-12th | Heaven’s Blessing. When the creature benefits from your Bardic Inspiration, it rolls the Bardic Inspiration die twice and uses the higher result. |
| Ode of Blood. If the creature is dying, it continues making death saving throws but stops being incapacitated for up to 3 rounds. The creature becomes incapacitated if it takes any damage, and it dies if it fails its last death saving throw. Once a creature has benefited from this battle hymn, it can’t benefit from it again until it finishes a short or long rest. | |
| Willful Serenade. Until the end of the combat, the creature ignores up to 4 levels of fatigue it is suffering from. | |
| 13th-16th | Doomsayer. The creature takes a 1d8 penalty on attack rolls. |
| Onward to Battle. The creature gains a 40 foot increase to Speed. | |
| Rise and Fight. A dying creature regains hit points equal to your Bardic Inspiration die. Once a creature has benefited from this battle hymn, it can’t benefit from it again until it finishes a long rest. | |
| 17th-20th | Bring Low the Foe. The creature takes a –1d8 penalty on saving throws. In addition, it is rattled for 1d4 rounds after the battle hymn ends. |
| Carry the Spirit. The creature gains ADV on saving throws. | |
| Inspiring Crescendo. The creature gains a 1d6 expertise die on ability checks. |

Failure: The Creature is ☠️Charmed by you for the duration plus 6 days, or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. A charmed creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance.
The performance ends early if you are incapacitated or silenced, or if you voluntarily end it (no action required). At the end of the duration, you can expend an additional use of Bardic Inspiration to extend the duration by 1d4 rounds.
When your Epic Performance lasts at least 1 minute, at the end of the duration you can target each charmed creature as if using the ☄️Mass Suggestion spell cast at 9th-level. Creatures do not make saving throws to resist this effect. The commands you give a charmed creature are not obvious, and other creatures must make a Wisdom (Insight) check opposed by your Charisma (Performance) check to understand that you are doing anything more than giving a performance.
