College of Preaching

Bards of the College of Preaching are zealous men and women who weave song of gods, angels and religions meant to inspire and empower those around them. Much like clerics, they are holy devotees, though they are not granted the same mystical force as their righteous brothers are. Instead, their powers manifest through their scriptures and their sayings, all of which contain powerful wisdom and divine insight into the world around them.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Preaching at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws, as well as any Charisma checks when preaching the gospel of your choice. You can also cast spells by preaching the words, scripture or songs of your Deity, this can replace needing instruments as a spellcasting focus. If you choose to do so every spell you choose to cast requires the Verbal component.

Additionally, you gain Advantage on all Charisma checks when preaching the gospel of your choice. (Deception, Intimidation, Performance, Persuasion)

Spiritual Deliverance

Also at 3rd level, you learn to inspire others to continue their faith-filled missions in life. As a reaction, you may allow a creature of your choice that is making death-saving throws to add one of your bardic inspiration dice to their saving throw.

Additionally, and number rolled that is modified to a 19 or 20 with your bardic inspiration dice is considered a critical success.

Righteous Sermon

Starting at the 6th level, your words are laden with wisdom and truth. When you grant a creature a bardic inspiration dice as a bonus action, you may grant an additional bardic inspiration for free.

Bearing The Torch

At the 14th level, your desire to speak the gospel and preach the good word empowers you, even when you approach death. You may use your bardic inspiration dice for your death saving rolls. If the combined numbers rolled add up to a 19 or 20, you come back to life with a number of hit points equal to your Wisdom and Charisma ability modifiers combined.
