Transfer Suffering

As a reaction, the user can halve the damage dealt to a creature they can see within 30 feet and gain temporary hit points equal to their Bard level plus their charisma modifier. If the user attacks a creature and hits, they deal additional damage equal to the temporary hit points, which then disappear. If they have not lost the temporary hit points by the end of their next turn, either through successfully attacking another creature or through taking damage, they lose these hit points by default and take damage equal to the number of remaining temporary hit points.
