The Grinner’s Song

The Golden Grin exists to enlighten and inspire, keeping ears and eyes out for the murmurs of tyranny and cruelty and deposing those responsible through social upheaval, or occasionally direct intervention. The idea that each person is capable of great things permeates its mantras and beliefs, and the wandering storytellers of the Grin are known to pay handsomely for tales of local heroes and majestic deeds of courage to add to their repertoire of stories and songs. If the people’s hearts grow cold enough to reject words and poems, the noblest of grinners will often rise to the occasion and get their hands dirty to display such an act of heroism themselves.

Folk heroes, and folk singers. The Grinner’s are champions of the people. Those who are down on their luck, or have found themselves in trouble and in need of aid. 
The Grinner’s are a secretive bunch, who prefer to stay anonymous in their intervention. They are tricksters and performers, who use subterfuge to turn luck to anyone’s favor. 

The song of the people, The song of Rebellion, and The song of Heroes are all songs that inspire creativity and what it means to come together for a cause. 

The Grinner’s Mote

3rd-level  Grinner’s Song feature

Whenever you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, you can utter a note from The Grinner’s Song to create a Tiny mote of potential, which orbits within 5 feet of that creature. The mote is intangible and invulnerable, and it lasts until the Bardic Inspiration die is lost. The mote looks like a musical note, the comedy, tragedy mask, or another symbol of art or life that you choose.

When the creature uses the Bardic Inspiration die, the mote provides an additional effect based on whether the die benefits an ability check, an attack roll, or a saving throw, as detailed below:

Ability Check. When the creature rolls the Bardic Inspiration die to add it to an ability check, the creature can roll the Bardic Inspiration die again and choose which roll to use, as the mote pops and emits colorful, harmless sparks for a moment.

Attack Roll. Immediately after the creature rolls the Bardic Inspiration die to add it to an attack roll against a target, the mote thunderously shatters. The target and each creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or take thunder damage equal to the number rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die, or half as much on a successful save. 

Saving Throw. Immediately after the creature rolls the Bardic Inspiration die and adds it to a saving throw, the mote vanishes with the sound of soft music, causing the creature to regain hit points equal to the number rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die plus your Charisma modifier.

You also gain access to the Grinner Spell list.
