Some bards voluntarily venture to the less hospitable parts of the world, battles, or other places where suffering is prevalent. There, they use the abilities granted by their college to bring relief to those in pain.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Respite at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with cook’s utensils and herbalism kits.

Comforting Song

At 3rd level, you learn how to infuse your healing spells with the power of comforting music. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, you can expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration and add the result of the roll to the number of hit points that the spell restores.

Reaffirming Pressure

At 6th level, when a creature within 30 feet of you that can see and hear you adds one of your Bardic Inspiration die to an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to allow them to roll the die again. They must use the new roll.

Reliable Comfort

Starting at 14th level, when you use Comforting Song, you can roll a d6 and use it instead of expending a Bardic Inspiration die.
