College of Storytelling

Bards of this college inspire their allies by making stories come to life in the most literal sense. Not only this but they can pick apart the weave's story itself as well as change outcomes if someone in their life has a less than favorable story. Storytellers like this use these gifts to push the fight in their favor. The college's members rarely meet all as a collective but if storytellers hear word of each other they may be so inclined to learn more about the creations their mind has put on paper, and the tales they've learned in battle.

Living storytale

At 3rd level when you take this subclass you can spend your action to cast a Living Storytale, this creature has a stat block as shown below and allies inside a 10ft radius of the creature can use a bardic inspiration from your inspiration dice pool. You determine the appearance of the creature. In combat, the Storytale shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Storytale can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new Living Storytale if you have your spellcasting focus with you. If you already have a Storytale from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The Storytale also perishes if you die.
