Base Class: Bard
To some travelers, the innermost secret caverns of the humanoid heart are the most intrepid non-jewel-encrusted caverns to explore. These travelers are sometimes called Old Spice Gentlemen, other times Old Spice Gentle-ladies. They are comedians and jokesters wrapped in the skin of heartthrobs and Casanovas (not literally, that would be gross). These charming travelers and purveyors of romantic miracles depend on their charm and good humor to see themselves through to the next all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast. Whether it be a charming smile, a clever quip, or a catchphrase that dangerously dips its toes into the clear, cool waters of annoying repetition, the Gentlemen will always find a way to rise above any challenge and inspire their companions to greater feats, all in the name of selling more Old Spice deodorant than Old Spice is already selling.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
You are proficient in Light and Medium Armor as well as all Simple and Martial Weapons.
Fancy Clothes
The Gentleman would never be caught dead or alive wearing anything other than his Gentleman uniform of a fine, dark, silken jacket and trousers over a pristine and starched white tunic and necktie (bowed or otherwise). He also wears nice shoes. When the Gentleman wears his “uniform,” his armor class is 10 + his Dexterity modifier + his Charisma modifier. You cannot use a shield and get this benefit.
I'd Take a Bullet for Ya!
At 6th level, and during an ally’s or enemy’s turn, as a reaction, the Gentleman may dive between the ally and the enemy’s attack, taking half damage. The Gentleman may dive from any location within sight, but must remain in his new location. Gentlemen may use this feature once per long rest. At level 14, the Gentleman becomes the king of chivalrous deeds and absorbs the blow entirely without taking damage and probably eating a snow cone while he is doing it.
New Haircut
At 14th level, the Gentleman gets a new, more stylish haircut. Just to be clear, his previous haircut was top fantastic A+ fashionable, but this new haircut is on a whole different plane of style and fashion, ethereal or otherwise. If this is hard to imagine, think of it like this: all crocodiles are cool, but put a crocodile in a ghillie suit? That stuff is unheard of!!! Anyway, now that you understand just how fashionable the Gentleman’s previous haircut was and how this new haircut blows that older, fashionable haircut to smithereens (fashionably speaking), what does this new haircut do? Good question. Easy. When the Gentleman gets this new, level 14 haircut, all other characters in his party immediately gain an extra level, and there is nothing the GM can do about it. Capiche?
