Bonus Proficiencies

Upon attaining the 3rd level and joining the esteemed College of Valor, you acquire proficiency in medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.

Combat Inspiration

Additionally, at the 3rd level, you develop the ability to inspire others during the heat of battle. A creature that has received a Bardic Inspiration die from you gains the following benefits:

• Weapon Damage Roll: The creature can roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll it has just made.

• Enhanced Armor Class: Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the creature, it can utilize its reaction to roll the Bardic Inspiration die. The number rolled on the die is then added to the creature's Armor Class (AC) against that specific attack.

Extra Attack

Upon reaching the 6th level, your combat prowess has grown to such an extent that you gain the ability to unleash a flurry of attacks. Whenever you take the Attack action on your turn, you can now make two attacks instead of just one.

Battle Magic

Upon reaching the 14th level, you have achieved a profound mastery of seamlessly blending spellcasting and weapon combat into a harmonious dance. When you utilize your action to cast a bard spell, you gain the ability to make one weapon attack as a bonus action immediately afterward. This exceptional skill allows you to fluidly transition between unleashing magical incantations and delivering swift strikes with your weapon.
