The College of Chef attracts bards whose passion for food extends beyond the realm of culinary art. These masters of the kitchen have discovered a fundamental truth: food is not only a bodily delight, but also a powerful magical tool. In their hands, each dish becomes a work of art, infused with magic and capable of healing, protecting, or even elevating their guests to new heights.

The bards of the College of Chef travel the world in search of rare ingredients and exotic spices, learning secret and ancient techniques from legendary chefs. Whether concocting delicious dishes to inspire their companions or using magical ingredients to alter the tide of battle, these bards transform the feasting table into a veritable battlefield.

Their kitchen knives are not just tools for preparing meals, but precise weapons that find their target with surgical efficiency. And, of course, their ability to concoct magical dishes from the enemies they defeat is as fearsome as it is surprising.
