College of the Duet

Drawn from the ranks of snake charmers, bird singers, organ grinders, and flea-circus ringmasters, members of the College of the Duet train woodland animals to accompany them, to bond with them, honing their own art along with that of the animals. These performers have an affinity for wild things and wild places, seeing art and beauty in the verdant expanses of nature.

Beauty In Nature

3rd-level College of the Duet feature

You gain proficiency in Animal Handling and Nature skills. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses Animal Handling

Duet

3rd-level College of the Duet feature

You gain the aid of a familiar that accompanies you on your adventures and is trained to perform alongside you. You learn the find familiar spell. It counts as a bard spell for you but doesn’t count against the number of bard spells you know. You can expend a use of Bardic Inspiration to cast this spell as an action without requiring material components. The familiar summoned by this spell remains a beast, shares your Charisma score, and is proficient in the Performance skill. Whenever you make a Performance check while your familiar is within 30 feet of you, your familiar automatically assists you (unless you tell it otherwise), granting you advantage on the check. In addition, you can use a bonus action to expend a use of Bardic Inspiration while your familiar uses its reaction, to harmonize your performances for the next minute. While both you and your familiar are harmonized, you can use your familiar as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells, and you can cast bard spells or use your Bardic Inspiration feature through your familiar as if you were in the familiar’s space, but the familiar must remain within 30 feet of you and you must use your own senses for determining the target. This effect ends early if either you or your familiar, fall unconscious

Harmonic Choir

6th-level College of the Duet feature

You can channel the power of your performance through your familiar and create a symphony. As an action, you can dismiss your familiar and cast the spirit guardians spell, summoning several spectral copies of your familiar. This spell counts as a bard spell for you. While both you and your familiar are harmonized, you can cast bard spells or use your Bardic Inspiration feature from any space within the range of the spirit guardians spell as if you were in that space. If you lose concentration, your familiar reappears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 15 feet of you. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. In addition, while you and your familiar are harmonized, your familiar can use your Countercharm feature.

Euphony

14th-level College of the Duet feature

Your connection with your familiar becomes unbreakable, strengthened by a shared art. While both you and your familiar are harmonized, any creature that rolls a Bardic Inspiration die while within 10 feet of you or your familiar adds half your proficiency modifier, rounded down, to the result of the roll.
