College of Discord

The sounds you hear constantly are not those pleasant to the ear. The crash of lightning, the slamming of rocks, the pounding of waves, and the whirring of storms. Inside your head is the overwhelming sensations of the realm of Limbo and they plague your mind. Only to you, they aren't a plague, you find the sounds oddly comforting and want to share the experience with the world. Your bardic talents take the sounds trapped in your mind and force them on others who do not derive the same comfort.

Shard of Chaos

3rd-level College of Discord feature

Whenever you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, you can create a small portion of limbo in the mind of your opponent yielding unpredictable effects. When you grant Bardic Inspiration to a creature, choose one other creature that you can see and roll on the Chaos Table to determine the effect produced. The effect lasts until the start of your next turn.

Chaos Table

d8	Effect
1	An overwhelming sense of dread fills the creature and they must spend their reaction to move as far as its speed allows away from you.
2	The creature suffers from temporary madness and uses its reaction to make an attack against a random creature within range of its equipped weapon.
3	The creature is plagued by apparitions of spirits that keep them from performing their best and must subtract a d4 from their attack rolls and saving throws
4	The creature falls to the ground prone in a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
5	The creature loses all sense of sensation and becomes blinded and deafened
6	The creature finds itself regressing to its mindset as a child to cope and sees you as its parent, being charmed by you
7	The creature sees you as their greatest fear and becomes frightened of you
8	The creature feels enclosed in space, as if invisible ropes are closing in, making it hard to breathe and move and are restrained

 

Madness Restructured

3rd-level College of Discord feature

At 3rd level, you overlay a portion of the rules that govern the realms of chaos into the mundane world. If you perform for 1 minute or longer you may choose to alter a nonmagical object you can see within 30 feet of you. The object must be medium or smaller and begins to thrum and spark with chaotic energy giving off faint sounds of the plane of limbo.

You then may modify the object in one of the following ways:
You may move the object a number of feet equal to your Charisma score
You change the object into another nonliving form of the same size, such as turning a rock into a ball of fire or a puddle of water
You prevent the object from being moved or altered, If the object is fixed in the air, it can hold up to 4,000 pounds of weight. More weight causes the object to fall. Otherwise, a creature can use an action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature can move the object up to 10 feet.

The effect lasts for a number of hours equal to two times your proficiency bonus or until you use this feature again.

Once you have modified an object with this ability, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher to use this feature again. You can only modify one object with this feature at a time, if you use this action and already have modified an object from this feature, the first one resumes its original state.

The size of the item you can manipulate with this feature increases by one size category when you reach 6th level (Large) and 14th level (Huge).

Effect and Cause

6th-level College of Discord feature

At 6th level, ambient chaos flows from you and around your person. Limbo does not follow set rules as such your luck fluctuates chaotically and sporadically. You may activate this feature as a bonus action to create a 10ft aura centered on you and roll 1d2. On a result of 1, all creatures within the aura have advantage on attack rolls and saving throws. On a result of 2, all creatures within the aura have disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws. You reroll 1d2 on the start of each of your following turns and the aura's effect changes accordingly.

This aura lasts for 1 minute Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

 

Lunacy Contagion

14th-level College of Discord feature

At 14th level the madness spread by your inspiration is contagious. When you use your Shard of Chaos feature, in addition to the effect rolled on the Chaos table, the creature must roll against your Spell save DC. On a failure, choose another creature within 30 feet of the original target and roll again on the chaos table. This effect may repeat a number of times equal to your charisma modifier
