Rebellion

Not all Bards are students of a College. Some choose to throw authority and tradition to the wind, and instead focus on the usurping on those who claim power. These are Rebellion Bards: those who favor chaos over order, who wish to topple the system, while still retaining an edge in battle. While the ideas they preach are of spontaneity and freedom, they are not reckless, mindless agents of destruction. They are experts at playing the long game, and will even go so far as to employ themselves in a noble's court as a means of taking them down.

Rebellion Bards have the unique ability to inspire their allies without sound, so as to keep the revolutionary ideas they spread out of earshot of those they revolt against. They are always able to drag down their enemies in battle, and even if only by a little, every bit helps. In moment of dire need, these bards can even inspire large groups of people, and bolster their resilience, at the cost of their own exhaustion, and still push to fight another day. 

Bonus Proficiencies

At 18th level, you use a d12 for both Verbal and Silent Inspiration. 

Discordant

All uses reset after a long rest.
