College of Hexes

For many years you studied the art of subtly and the art of hexes. You were designed rather intentionally to be a spy and a diplomat, you can speak well and get away if it goes awry. 

You gain many abilities that allow you to weaponize any spells you cast by giving your target a specific debuff of your choosing while also being able to buff your allies better than ever.

You may choose to Hex any creature you can see within 60ft of you by using you bonus action bardic inspiration. Make a Charisma (Persuasion) check + Bardic inspiration die against their insight (disadvantage if they have been hit this round).

Debuffs:

Frenzied minds: you may after doing the bonus action persuasion check and if they fail, you may cause the creature to loose their minds, they can not concentrate on spells anymore and may not cast their highest level Spells. Non Spellcasters take 2D8 psychic damage and fall prone in pain. 

Easily Manipulated: the creature who failed the contested ability check now has disadvantage on all checks made against you and a number of creatures equal to your CHA modifier. 

This ability also allows you to buff your allies when you gift them Bardic inspiration. 

Buffs:

Better Inspiration - your inspiration die when put into action can also add your CHA modifier to the buff.

Rallying buff - when you gift the inspiration the creature may move half their movement for free as they receive the buff.

Your extensive reading has made you very skillful in many ways. You gain proficiency and exertise in one skill. 

Hexed Inspiration

14th-level College of Hexes feature

You have found a way to allow the recipient of your inspiration to debuff the target or their attacks. They may choose how from this list:

Deprivation - the target of this ability must make an opposed skill check with the bard whereby the bard rolls persuasion and the target rolls a WIS saving throw or a Insight check, whatever is higher. If they fail, they become stunned on the spot. If they succeed they lost 15ft of movement speed. 

Banishing Rite - this effect becomes a weaker version of the banishing smite spell whereby whoever is hit makes a saving throw (bards spell save DC) or is banished. 

Stealthy Strike - this costs two Bardic inspiration die that do not stack but the next attack they make becomes a crit, even if it can not crit normally.
