College of Medimagic

The College of Medimagic is more recent field of study.  It creator was upset when her magic failed to heal her beloved sister.  She started to research non-magical forms of healing.  As she learned more about anatomy, she discovered that by understanding the body, and focusing the magic where it is most needed, she could heal far better than just casting blindly.  She also developed a technique to reinforce her allies as she healed them, to make it less likely they would need help soon after.

Over time, she took students and spread the college.  Her heirs refined her techniques, until the College became what it is today.

Medimagic Training

At third level you add the spells revivify and mass heal to your spell list.

In addition, you do not have to prepare the spells healing word, lesser restoration, and revivify. You can cast them without preparing them.

Inspirational Healing

At third leve Medimagic Bard learns how to use the words of power to stir the spirit as well as healing the body. 

When you cast healing word or mass healing word, you can choose to give any targets of the spell Bardic Inspiration as part of the casting (this does not use your bonus action).  This takes your uses of Bardic Inspiration (one per target).  If the spell is cast with a 6th or higher level spell slot, make a Medicine check for each, DC 14 + the level of the spell.  If successful, that target gains Bardic Inspiration, with consuming one of your uses, but you must still have at least one use available to try.

Medical Expert

At sixth level you gain proficiency and expertise in Medicine and Arcana.  If you already have proficiency or expertise in either skill, you can choose another skill.  For example, if you had proficiency in Medicine, you would gain expertise in Medicine and proficiency in another skill of your choice.

Surgical Healing

At sixth level, when you cast a spell that recovers hit points, you can make a Medicine check, with a DC 14 + the level of the spell. If you pass the Medicine check, the spell heals the maximum amount. If you roll a natural 20, the spell heals the maximum amount plus additional healing equal to your Medicine skill modifier. If you fail the Medicine check, the spell is cast normally with no negative effect. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You recover one use of this ability on a short rest, and all uses on a long rest.

Surgical Healing and Inspirational Healing cannot be used on the same spell.

Doctorate of Medimagic

At 14th level, the Medimagic Bard completes their training and gains the following abilities:

• You use Charisma instead of Wisdom or Intelligence for your Medicine and Arcana skills.
• You can use Surgical Healing and Inspirational Healing on the same spell.
• When you cast a spell that recovers HP for a single target and use a 3rd level or higher spell slot, make a Medicine check, DC 14 + the level of the spell. If successful, one target of your spell also receives the effect of lesser restoration.
• When you cast lesser restoration and greater restoration using a higher level spell slot, you end one additional effect per slot level increase. In addition, when you cast greater restoration using a higher level spell slot, the addition effect cured can be from the list of effects for greater restoration or lesser restoration. For example, a 6th level greater restoration could remove both a reduction to the target's Dexterity score, and the blindness status.
