Bard
Base Class: Bard

Whether serenading under a window, composing ballads of flowery stanzas, or procuring roses, some performers cannot help but lean to romance- especially for others. After all, oft it is more noble to secure the happiness of others, is it not? These bards can be found singing crowded taverns, keeping eyes on the lingering glances at court, ensuring that those on the road to heroism do not neglect their own heart. 

Bards of the College of Matchmakers can detect the natural draw of people to each other, reading the body language and helping them play to their own strengths. These are the bards who let others shine, knowing how to spotlight those who only need an extra push. 

Flourishing Serenade

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to spot compatibility and synchronism in battle -and when others want to look good in front of each other. You can use your bonus action to expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration, designating two allies that you can see within 60 feet of you and within 10 feet of each other. The next time each creature makes an attack roll, roll a Bardic Inspiration and add the number to the creatures' attack rolls. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the GM determines whether the attack roll succeeds or fails. 

Resolute Cadence

Starting at 6th level, your words inspire other to aid one another in battle. A pair given inspiration from Flourishing Serenade can choose to expend their Bardic Inspiration die to cast true strike or blade ward on the other. 

Warding Resonance

Starting at 14th level, your chosen match works in better tandem than before. The two creatures given a Bardic Inspiration die from Flourishing Serenade can choose to act in defense; when an attack roll is made against either creature, they can use their reaction to roll that die and add the number rolled to their AC until the start of their next turn, whether the attack is made on themself or the other person. They can choose to do so after the creature makes its roll, but before knowing whether it hits or misses.

Alternatively, one creature can forgo their Bardic Inspiration die, choosing to let the other roll two Bardic Inspiration dies.
