Base Class: Bard
You're meant for the stage. You are almost always the center of attention, from both allies and enemies.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join the College of Concert at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons. You may use weapons as your spellcasting focus.
The Show Must Go On!
At 3rd level, you learn how to keep the party going. When a creature you can see within 60 feet of you reaches 0 hit points, you may use your reaction, spending a bardic inspiration and rolling the die. You heal the creature for the amount rolled. If successful, the creature won't go prone from being incapacitated. The caster isn't a valid target for their own The Show Must Go On!
Showstopper
It's impossible not to focus on you. Once per long rest, as an action, you can increase your armor class by 4 and impose disadvantage on all attacks targeting allies (other than yourself) within 60 feet of you. This effect stops if you hit 0 hit points or stop using your action each turn to maintain it.
Rile Up!
You know how to use the performing arts to inspire and irritate. When you damage an enemy, you can force them to make a wisdom saving throw. If they fail, they have to by all means necessary attempt to make an attack against you. When you heal an ally, you can choose to give them advantage on all saving throws and checks for the next 6 seconds. This can be used a number of times equal to 2 + your charisma modifier per short rest (minimum of one).

Posted Aug 20, 2023I made this as a kind of "tank" bard, with focus on keeping the attention on you and not on your allies, but the abilities are kinda flexible enough to be used however you want. To clarify the last sentence of The Show Must Go On!, you cannot receive your own, or from any other bard. You can't just get two of these and spam the ability between two College of Concert bards.
