College of the two Courts

Bards who join the College of Two Courts invariably come from an unusual background. These bards typically have spent their lives growing up in enchanted woods, in lands populated by fey creatures, or even have spent their lives abducted by fey creatures and spirited off into the feywild itself. These bards are touched by the beguiling and bewitching nature of the fey and, as they grow in power, they find themselves divided amongst one another just as the fey are. Bards who favor community, respect, and tradition join the Seelie Court. Bards who favor individualism, humor, and uninhibited self-expression join the Unseelie Court.

Bewitching Behavior

When you join the College of Two Courts at 3rd level, when you roll a Deception (Charisma), Intimidation (Charisma), and Persuasion (Charisma) ability check and get a result equal to or lower than your Charisma modifier you may choose to roll again. You must use the second result.

Beguiling Bearing

Starting at 3rd level, when a creature makes a saving throw against a mind-influencing effect, the charmed or frightened condition, or an illusion you can use your reaction and spend an Inspiration Die to roll and subtract it from the result of that saving throw. You must declare you are using this ability after the saving throw is rolled but before the DM declares if it is successful or not.
