College of Myths

Some individuals spend their days not only traveling the lands but also traveling through history to learn about the heroes of old. Then with a spark of their magical expertise bring those legends back to the present day.

A Soul's Potential

3rd-level College of Myths feature

Whenever you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, you can beckon to a wondering spirit that comes to aid your companion, which orbits within 5 feet of that creature. The spirit is intangible and invulnerable, and it lasts until the Bardic Inspiration die is lost. The spirit looks like a Skull, a ghost, a fang, or another symbol of death or unlife that you choose.

When the creature uses the Bardic Inspiration die, the spirit provides an additional effect based on whether the die benefits an ability check, an attack roll, or a saving throw, as detailed below:

Ability Check. When the creature rolls the Bardic Inspiration die to add it to an ability check, the creature can roll the Bardic Inspiration die again and choose which roll to use, as a sagacious spirit whispers helpful tips to the user.

Attack Roll. Immediately after the creature rolls the Bardic Inspiration die to add it to an attack roll against a target, the soulgives a rallying cry before surrounding the user in ethereal ghostly armor. You also add the number rolled to your AC until the start of your next turn.

Saving Throw. Immediately after the creature rolls the Bardic Inspiration die and adds it to a saving throw, the soul vanishes with the gentle glow and hum of a healers blessing, causing the creature to gain temporary hit points equal to the number rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die plus your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point).

Little Legends

3rd-level College of Myths feature

As an action, you can channel the magic of Mythology to call a Legendary spirit to aid you. You can call fourth and bond with one such spirit, who comes to inhabit a humanoid item within 10 ft of you to serve as your ancient companion. See this creature's game statistics in the Ancient Companion stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.When you bond with your ancient companion, choose the type of spirit you bond with: Healer, Sage, or Warrior. Your choice of spirit determines certain traits in its stat block. The statue determines the spirit’s appearance.It lives for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, or until you die.

The ancient companion is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. In combat, the companion 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 companion can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

Once you animate an item with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher to use this feature again. You can have only one soul beckoned by this feature at a time; if you use this action and already have a dancing item from this feature, the first one immediately becomes inanimate.

Through steeping yourself in the chaotic whims of history, you learn how to briefly channel the wild nature of time itself. As a bonus action, you can enter a state of chronal chaos. When you enter this state, and at the start of each of your subsequent turns while in this state, you gain one of the following benefits of your choice:

Resistance. You rewind time, knitting together injuries as they occur. You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
