College of the Truthseer

Those in power constantly beat down and subjugate the poor and powerless every chance they get. Life is hard, and finding the will to resist injustice is harder. This resistance is made nearly impossible when those in power sponsor misinformation and propaganda campaigns in order to control the general populace. Still though, there are people who resist. People who use the power of the truth to inspire and agitate the common people towards revolution. These people are called Truthseers.

Shield of Truth

Starting at 3rd level,  whenever you expend a Bardic Inspiration, you may roll the die and grant yourself the equivalent in temporary hit points.

Ugly Truth

Starting at 3rd level, when you or someone you see is targeted by a melee weapon or spell attack you may expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration to espouse an ugly truth about the creature. The affected creature has disadvantage on the attack roll.

Additionally roll a d4.

• On a 1-2 the creature now suffers from the frightened status effect and must use its movement to move to a space that is at least 30 ft away from you.
• On a 3-4, the target becomes enraged; it has disadvantage on all weapon and spell attacks against creatures other than you and cannot willingly move more than 30 ft away from you. Both of these effects lasts for 1 minute.

Speak Out

Starting at 6th level, you are immune to the effects of the spell Silence. While conscious and aware, you are still able to meet verbal component requirements for spells even when gagged or paralyzed.

Unshakeable Truth

Starting at 14th level, you know the spell Zone of Truth and may cast it as a bonus action without spending a spell slot. While you are in the radius of effect of Zone of Truth you gain the following benefits:

• Creatures who have failed the saving throw for Zone of Truth have disadvantage on saving throws on all spells or spell-like effects cast by you.
• You have resistance to all damage from creatures who have failed their saving throw against Zone of Truth.

You may cast Zone of Truth this way a number of times equal to your Charisma Modifier (minimum of 1), regaining spent uses on a long rest.
