College of echoes

In a world scarred by the collapse of civilization, the College of Echoes has emerged, where bards serve as vessels for the spirits of the past. These bards channel the voices and powers of those long gone, using their connection to the spirit world to influence the present. Through their unique performances, they summon and communicate with spirits, harnessing their wisdom and might to aid their allies and confound their foes.

Spirit medium

Ability: You can communicate with the spirits of the dead. You gain proficiency in the Arcana and Religion skills if you don't already have them. Additionally, you can cast speak with dead without using a spell slot. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Whispering voices

Ability: You can invoke the aid of lingering spirits to enhance your performances. As a bonus action, you can expend a bardic inspiration die to create the following effect.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Spirit Choir
