College of Culinary Harmony

The College of Culinary Harmony offers a flavorful twist to the Bardic tradition, blending the artistry of music and storytelling with the enchanting world of gastronomy. Bards of this college are masters of the kitchen and the stage, using their culinary skills to conjure up dishes that not only delight the taste buds but also empower, heal, and protect their allies. Whether it's through a sprinkle of magical spices, a heartwarming broth, or a lavish banquet that enchants all who partake, these Bards understand that food is more than sustenance—it's a medium for magic, camaraderie, and adventure. With their unique blend of cooking prowess and Bardic magic, they provide both physical and spiritual nourishment, making them beloved companions on any quest.

Flavorful Inspiration

You can use your cooking skills to inspire your allies. As a bonus action, you can perform a quick culinary demonstration or offer a tantalizing morsel, granting a Bardic Inspiration die. This die can also be used to add a bonus to any check related to taste or food preparation.

Soothing Soup

You gain the ability to brew a special soup during short rests. Any ally who partakes in the soup regains additional hit points equal to your Charisma modifier when spending hit dice to regain health.

Aroma of Awe

Your cooking emits enchanting aromas. As an action, you can release a captivating scent from your food. Enemies within a 20-foot radius must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you until the end of your next turn, regarding you as a friendly and trustworthy chef.

Gastronomic Genius

You gain proficiency in Cook's Utensils if you don't already have it, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make using them. Additionally, you can create magical dishes that can replicate the effects of certain spells (like "Hero's Feast" or "Purify Food and Drink") without using a spell slot, but requiring ingredients and cooking time. You can only create spells equal to the level of spells you can cast at your current level. 

Banquet of Heroes

You can perform a special ritual to prepare a magnificent feast. This feast takes 1 hour to prepare and serves a number of creatures equal to your Bard level. Those partaking in the feast gain benefits such as temporary hit points, immunity to fear and poison, and advantage on Wisdom saving throws. This ability can be used once per long rest.
