Bonus Proficiencies

Performance Masks

Also at 3rd level, you learn to craft potent magical masks,
each of which allows you to take on a different persona and
gain some aspect of that archetypal character.
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to create Persona masks,
which are detailed in the "Persona Masks" section below,
creating two masks of your choice when you choose this
bardic college. Creating a mask requires 8 hours of work,
250 gp, and any items that give the actual mask magical
energies. Each mask gives examples of what items can be
used to imbue it with its magical properties. Ask your DM for
other items that can be used to create Persona Masks during
your campaign.
Wearing a Persona masks gives you additional abilities
determined by the mask you wear, and your alignment is
shielded by the alignment of the mask you wear. You may only
use masks created by yourself, and no one else (even another
Master of Masks) can benefit from a persona mask you
create. Doffing and donning a different mask uses a bonus
action.

Angel

The image of an androgynous face with eyes
serenely upturned to the heavens forms this mask, carved
from flawless alabaster. When you hit a creature with a melee
weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant
damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage.
The extra damage is 1d6 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d6 for
each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 4d6.

die as a bonus action to restore hit points to a creature you
touch by the amount rolled plus your Charisma modifier.
