College of Destiny

Bards of the College of Destiny are gifted with prescient insights, allowing them to navigate the twisting roads of luck and fate. Their foresight emulates that of legendary heroes who could sense truths that have not yet come to pass.

Bonus Proficiencies

3rd-level College of Destiny feature

You gain proficiency with one skill or tool of your choice. You also gain proficiency with the blowgun, heavy crossbow, longbow, net, and trident.

If you’re proficient with a simple or martial ranged or thrown weapon, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.

Fighting Style

3rd-level College of Destiny feature

You adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if something in the game lets you choose again.

Archery

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Thrown Weapon Fighting

You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon.
In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.

Inspiring Prediction

3rd-level College of Destiny feature

You inspire others by describing your visions of the future. When you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, that creature rolls the die immediately, recording the result, but does not lose the die when it does so. When the creature later chooses to use the Bardic Inspiration die, it can either roll the die as usual, or choose to use the recorded result instead of rolling. Either way, the die is then lost.

Virtue of Prescience

6th-level College of Destiny feature

The wisdom of your forethought grants greater protection to your allies. When an attack roll is made against a creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you, it can use its reaction to roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to its AC against that attack, after seeing the attack roll but before knowing whether it hits or misses.

Additionally, when a creature chooses to add a Bardic Inspiration die from you to its AC, it can choose to use the previously recorded result from your Inspiring Prediction feature, instead of rolling the die.

Unfolding Fate

14th-level College of Destiny feature

when things unfold as you have foreseen, you can use your prophetic knowledge to make a devastating strike. When a creature rolls your Bardic Inspiration die or uses its recorded die roll from your Inspiring Prediction feature, you can use your reaction to make one ranged weapon attack. The attack inflicts extra damage equal to the creature’s Bardic Inspiration die roll. If this attack targets a creature within 5 feet of the creature that rolled your Bardic Inspiration die, you have advantage on the attack roll.
