College of Gospel

The Bards of this College were likely not classically trained to utilize instruments, of course they know their way around them, but their greatest strength lies in their voice and the belief in their chosen deity's greatness which they sing of loudly. Their beautiful songs and powerful belief have the ability to heal as well as inspire those that hear them. 

Piety

3rd-level College of Gospel feature

At 3rd level when you join this College, you become proficient with Religion checks if you are not already and you may use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus rather than a musical instrument. Additionally, you learn the word of radiance and spare the dying cantrips which does not count against your number of bard spells known.

 

Wonderous Hyms

3rd-level College of Gospel feature

At 3rd level when you join this College, your inspiring words can now be used to heal. As a bonus action you can expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration to heal a creature within 60 feet of you that can hear you for the amount rolled + your Charisma modifier. Additionally, you learn the healing word spell which does not count against your number of bard spells known.

 

 

Mantle of Holiness

Level 6th College of Gospel feature

At 6th level you may expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration dice as a Bonus Action to become wreathed in holy light resembling a choir robe. While transformed in this way you shed bright light within 10 feet of yourself and dim light out 10 feet further. Additionally while you are transformed: you regain hit points equal to your Charisma modifier at the start of each of your turns, any spell you cast that restores hit points or removes a condition also restores additional hit points equal to your Song of Rest die and any bard spell you cast that deals damage deals extra radiant damage equal to your Charisma modifier on one damage roll against one of its targets.. To benefit from these effects the spells must contain a verbal component.

The transformation ends after 1 minute, if you are ever rendered unconscious or if you choose to end it (no action required by you). Once used you cannot activate Mantle of Holiness again until you finish a short or long rest.

Resplendent Choir

14th-level College of Gospel feature

At 14th level while your Mantle of Holiness is active, you can use an Action to summon 3 illusory duplicates of yourself as if you had cast the Mirror Image spell.

The images created this way are referred to as Chorus Members and for each Chorus Member present, spells you cast with verbal components that restore hit points or remove a condition restore 1d4 additional hit points, to a maximum of 3d4. Spells you cast with verbal components that deal damage deal an additional 1d4 radiant damage per Chorus Member, to a maximum of 3d4 on one damage roll. Whenever you would expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration feature you may expend 1 of your Chorus Members instead.

Once you are out of Chorus Members, are rendered unconscious or you choose to end Mantle of Holiness or Resplendent Choir early you cannot activate Resplendent Choir again until you complete a long rest.
