Bard
Base Class: Bard

A Bard from the college of deathsinging imbues necromancy and song. The original creator of this college thought of new ways to help performers and story tellers bring history of old to light. By using necromancy a Bard brings a body back to life in order to tell its story, the one that not many remember.

Bonus Proficiencies

You gain proficiencies in the Arcana and History skills. If you already have these proficiencies, you become an expert at them gaining double proficiency for these skills.

Lesser Animation

You can cast the animate dead spell to a lesser degree. Instead of creating two creatures you can only create one. This uses a spell slot of 3rd level. Additionally, whenever this creature attacks or gets attacked you can add your bardic inspiration die to his damage or AC, expending on inspiration die on use. When used, the effect lasts for one round, or until used.

Necromantic Knowledge

You gain two spells: Vampiric Touch (3 level) as well as any necromancy spell of 3 level or lower of your choice. These two spells count as Bard spells for you and do not count against the number of spells known.

Lord of Undeath

You have furthered your knowledge of undeath and animation. You can now cast a normal animate dead spell, which if used normally will not take any spell slots. You could however choose to expend a spell slot higher than 3 level to add more undead to your army. They can also benefit from your bardic inspiration, but are required to spend a separate die for each one. For example, 4 level spell slot +1 undead, 5 level +2 undead, etc up to 9 level.
