College of Souls

The College of souls has created more than enough powerful liches and necromancer. At third level when you join this college, you resign to your humanity as you start consuming souls.

Soul Harvest

When you join the College of Souls at 3rd level, you start mingling in the art of soul harvesting and gain the following features:

Your Soul is mine: Each time a creature in a range of 30 ft. of you dies, you have a 34% chance to get a soul that increases your maximum armor and hit points for 0.50 points (Large creatures and bosses drop two souls). As you gain this feature you no longer can wear armor or don a shield and your AC becomes 10+Souls(natural armor).

Form of Dread

As a bonus action, you can transform into your Form of Dread. You can stay in that Form for a number of hours equal to half your Bard level (rounded up). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You gain the following benefits while transformed:
-Your hit points equal to 10 plus 5 times your bard level.
-If you drop to 0 hit points while transformed you turn back to your normal form and any exceeding damage carries over to your life.
-Once during each of your turns, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can force it to make a Wisdom saving throw, and if the saving throw fails, the target is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
-You are immune to the frightened condition.
-You can transform a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Soul blow and Form of Dread Improvement

At 6th level, you start improving your mastery over the art of soul harvesting.
-When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend your bardic inspiration die to deal extra necrotic damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is one roll of your bardic inspiration die, expending more die improves the damage. The damage increases by one extra die roll if the target is an undead or a fiend.

Your form of Dread improves:
-You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn while on your form of dread.

Master of Souls

Starting at 14th level, you have mastered the art of Soul Harvesting granting you the following features:

-You can now summon an undead with a CR equal or lower than half your gathered souls divided by 3.

-Your Form of Dread gains resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing.
