Optional Feat: Journeyman Conductor

You have spent some time in the bardic teachings of a maestro, granting you minor command over the music of combat. You gain the following benefits.

• You learn 2 conducting techniques of your choice from among those available to the College of the Maestro in the bard class. If a technique you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the technique's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
• If you already have Bardic Inspiration dice, you gain one more; otherwise, you have one Bardic Inspiration die, which is a d6. This die can be given to others as a bonus action ( per the bard feature, Bardic Inspiration), or can be used to fuel your techniques. A Bardic Inspiration die is expanded when you use it. You regain this expended bardic inspiration die when you finish a short or long rest. 

This feat was created by Matthew Mercer for the Bard subclass College of the Maestro. This is an optional variant.
