College of the Untamed

Bards of the College of Untamed are prone to experiencing and preparing for the unexpected. Just as music can be unpredictable and spontaneous, these Bards know the flow of the weave can be improvised on to provide additional effects.

 

Their magical connection with the weave influences these bards to branch out and improvise on the spells they cast. This might be due to the instruments they tend to perform with, or because they have an inert talent within them that springs forth as they play. These bards are known to gather together in populated city streets to strike up a chord with strangers, their songs constantly changing.

 

Bards of the College of Untamed will spend their time learning by traveling to meet new people, where the new rhythm will often set a beat for the bards course of life.

Bonus Spells

When you join the College of the Untamed at 3rd Level, you learn one Cantrip and one 1st Level Spell from the Sorcerer Spell List. The chosen spells count as Bard spells for you but don't count against the number of bard spells you know.

Improvised Magic

Also at 3rd Level, whenever you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, roll on the Wild Magic Bard Table. If you cast a spell from this table, the Improvised Magic does not require concentration if it would normally.

Luck of Words

Starting at 6th level, you have the ability to twist fate using your words. When another creature you can see makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend a bardic inspiration to roll 1d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the creature's roll. You can do so after the creature rolls but before any effects of the roll occur.

Rehearsed Play

Starting at 14th level, whenever you roll on the Wild Magic Bard Table, roll 2 Dice. You may choose either option. If both dice are the same number, choose any effect.
