College of Bodybuilding

Choosing not to engage solely in the performing or creative arts, the bodybuilding bard strengthenes not only their charismatic spirit, but their body. Mixing brain with brawn, this unique caster manages to turn their muscular confidence into magical power.

Inspiring Physique

As an action, spend one use of Bardic Inspiration to grant advantage on strength checks, strength saving throws and melee attacks, to a number of creatures equal to your charisma modifier, that you can see and that can see you within 60 ft. Each creature can immediately use its reaction to make one melee attack against a nearby enemy.

At 10th level each creature can make two melee attacks as a reaction instead of one

Show of Might

Once per short rest, you can choose a number of creatures equal to your charisma modifier, to have a "show of might", the creatures must make a saving throw against your spell save dc, or gain disadvantage on charisma checks and saving throws, and wisdom checks and saving throws for one hour.

The show of might can be obvious, put on like a show, or subtle, like an unspoken flex of power. If the show of might is subtle, it only takes a bonus action, if it is obvious, it takes 10 minutes. Additionally however, if a creature fails a public show of might, they take 2d6 (+charisma modifier) points of psychic damage.

Strapping Physique

You become proficient with strength saving throws, in addition, you have advantage on Athletics and Acrobatics checks made to escape a grapple.

Unbreakable Bodice

As a bonus action, you can assume a mighty presence for 1 hour or until you are incapacitated. For the duration, whenever any creature tries to attack you, the attacker must make a DC 12 (+charisma modifier +strength modifier) charisma saving throw. On a fail, the attack misses and the creature becomes charmed until its next turn. Once this ability is used against a creature, it cannot affect that creature for the next 24 hours.

Once you assume this majestic presence, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
