Jack of all trades. Harkus adds half (1/2) of his proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check he makes that doesn’t already include his proficiency bonus.

Song of Rest. Harkus can use soothing music or oration to help revitalize his wounded allies during a short rest. If Harkus or any allied creatures who can hear his performance regain hit points at the end of the short rest by spending one or more Hit Dice, each of those creatures (including Harkus) regains an extra 1d6 hit points.

Spellcasting. Harkus is a 2nd-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). Harkus has the following bard spells prepared:

Cantrips (at will): prestidigitation, vicious mockery

1st level (3 slots): bane, cure wounds, disguise self, dissonant whispers, sleep

Scimitar. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) slashing damage.

Light Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 80 ft./320 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage.

Curse (Recharges after a Long Rest). Harkus targets one creature that he can see within 30 feet of him. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be cursed. While cursed, the target has vulnerability to one type of damage of Harkus’ choice. The curse lasts until ended with a greater restoration spell, a remove curse spell, or similar magic. When the curse ends, Harkus takes 9 (3d6) psychic damage.

Evil Eye (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). Harkus targets one creature that he can see within 10 feet of him and casts one of the following spells on the target (save DC 14), requiring neither somatic nor material components to do so: animal friendship, charm person, or hold person. If the target succeeds on the initial saving throw, Harkus is blinded until the end of his next turn. Once a target succeeds on a saving throw against this effect, it is immune to the Evil Eye power of all Vistani for 24 hours.

Bardic Inspiration. Harkus chooses one creature other than himself within 60 feet of him that can hear him. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time. Harkus can use this feature a number of times equal to his Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). Harkus regains any expended uses after a long rest.
