College of Hope
The College of Hope focuses on all the good that surrounds us, and its members believe that hope moves us forward in life. They perform in honor of the bright and happy days to come, as a gentle reminder of the beauty in life; for it is impossible to fully be aware of it at all times. Usually, the members of this college visit battlefields or places in crisis to lift the spirits of those within.
Hopeful Thoughts
When you join the college of hope at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. If you are already proficient in Persuasion, your proficiency bonus is doubled for Charisma (Persuasion) checks.
Bardic Aspiration
Also at 3rd level, you learn to spread hope with your actions. When you cast a spell that has a single target or expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to inspire others, you can choose to sow the seeds of hope in their souls. When you do so, the target gains the following features for a number of turns equal to your bard level:
- The target has advantage on saving throws against being frightened and charmed..
- When the target regains hit points, it regains an additional 1d4.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Ambitious Repertoire
Starting at 6th level, you expand your repertoire with different kinds of spells. You can cast the beacon of hope, daylight, or light at the end of the tunnel* spells without expending a spell slot and requiring no material components. Once you cast a spell in this way using this feature, you must finish a long rest to do so again.
A Song for Better Tomorrows
At 14th level, with your performance, you make your allies feel that there is hope for survival yet. As an action, you can sing the song “Better Tomorrows”, and all friendly creatures in a 30-foot-radius area gain immunity to all damage until the end of your next turn.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest to use it again.
