College of Tempo

Bards of this College skillfully alter the tempo of their music to improve their speed and momentum in combat.

Reactionary Secrets

When you join the College of Tempo at 6th level, you learn a spell of your choice from any class. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, and it must have a casting time of one reaction. The chosen spells count as bard spells for you but don't count against the number of bard spells you know. You learn an additional reaction spell at level 7.

Vibrato

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to better intertwine your music with your combat. You can give Bardic Inspiration as a reaction.

Lightning Fast Reflexes

At 6th level, you learn to channel arcane energy into your swiftest movements. When using your reaction to target another creature with a spell or attack, you may do an extra 1d6  thunder damage. The damage increases to 2d6 at level 11, and to 3d6 at level 17.

Erratic Rhythm

Starting at 14th level, you learn to vary your tempo to act more sporadically in combat. You can use your bonus action to ready an additional reaction. The reaction must be used before the beginning of your next turn, and only one reaction can be used on another creature's turn.
