College of Idols

College of Idols

Bards who've chosen this college path are eager to perfect their personalities, attractiveness, and image all for the hope of becoming popular and growing their fan following.
Idols are often trained in acting, dancing, and modeling, but even inexperienced idols can find fame if they possess natural talent.
Regardless of upbringing, idols know how to grab attention, and their presence is always a call for shenanigans, celebration, and fun.

Lights, Camera, Action!

1st-level College of Idols feature

When you join the College of Idols at 3rd level, you can improvise a show at the drop of a hat.
As a bonus action you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to provide yourself a +10 bonus to your next Charisma (Performance) check.

Popular Performance

1st-level College of Idols feature

Starting at 3rd level, you master a style of performance that's completely original to you, providing a one-of-a-kind experience for viewers to enjoy.
If you perform for at least 1 hour in public, you gain 1 renown. Fans in the area will offer presents in the form of gold, items, or services every time you gain renown, with the rewards increasing based on the total amount you possess.

• 3+ renown: 5d12 * 2 GP, a random common magical
  item, or a simple service .
• 9+ renown: 5d12 * 7 GP, a random uncommon magical
  item, or a moderate service.
• 14+ renown: 5d12 * 14 GP, two random uncommon
  magical items, a complex service, or an invitation to an
  exclusive event.

The DM gets to choose which of the three rewards, if any, you receive by the inhabitants from where you performed.
The maximum amount of renown you're allowed to possess is equal to your level. Renown can only be gained once every D&D session.

Magical Charm

6th-level College of Idols feature

Starting at 6th level, you master a spell capable of charming crowds. Choose one enchantment spell from any class. The spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip.
The chosen spell counts as a bard spell for you and doesn't count against the number of bard spells you know.

You can cast this spell twice in the same turn, being able to concentrate on both spells at the same time. If an effect would cause you to lose concentration, both spells would end.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Talent Show

14th-level College of Idols feature.

Starting at 14th level, as an action you can showcase a moment of your peerless talent, bolstering your ally's resolve and encouraging them to give it their all.

Up to 10 friendly creatures (not including you) that you choose who can see and hear you in a 120 foot radius regain 1 hitpoint.
If a target is already at full health, they instead gain advantage on their next ability check or attack roll made before your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
