College of Hospitality

Bards of the College of Hospitality use their magical gift of expression through the lovely lens of cooking. Whether cooking by a campfire or in a 3 stove kitchen, these bards use their gifts to bring magic to the mouths of their companions. When the meal is finished, those at the table may find that it takes a bit more than just love to be put into this bards magical meals.

The loyalty of these bards lies in the support of others who will share their food and sit at their table, more to help friends than harm foes. A party who keeps such a bard will find delicious meals from the most simple of ingredients, regardless if they are diving in a dungeon or laying about the castle.
