College of Mercy

    The bards of this college are regarded as clerical in nature. When they perform, the crowd around them has boosted spirits and health. These bards have such skill in healing, they could make a blind man see or a lame man walk. On the other hand, these bards are not to be taken lightly. Just as easily as they can heal your wounds, they also can produce new ones.

 

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Mercy at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with three skills of your choice.

Helping Words

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to use your wit to instill confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration, rolling a Bardic Inspiration die and adding the number rolled to the creature’s roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails, or before the creature deals its damage. The creature is immune if it can’t hear you or if it’s immune to being charmed.

Additional Vows

At 6th level, you gain the affinity of paladins and gain their power. You choose up to 3 paladin spells from the paladin spell list and these spells count as bard spells for you and use your casting modifier.

Infernal Tongue

            At 6th level, your wit now has the power to harm a target. You can target one creature in sight and roll a Wisdom saving throw. The creature takes 2d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, and half as much on a successful one. Also on a failed save the target is now frightened

Peerless Skill

Starting at 14th level, when you make an ability check, you can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration. Roll a Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to your ability check. You can choose to do so after you roll the die for the ability check, but before the DM tells you whether you succeed or fail.

Heaven Touched

       At 14th level, the gods have seen how hard you have worked and have blessed you with an angels might. You have become immune to radiant damage, resistant to lightning and fire damage, but vulnerable to necrotic damage.
