College of the Righteous Soul

Bards of the College of the Righteous Soul believe in showing the world the wonders of their god through the act of performance. They have a message to spread about the glory of their deity and believe that song is the best form of prayer. Everything they do is in accordance with their god's wishes and doctrine. While occasionally gaining employment with a local temple to their deity, these bards usually opt to wander the world and proclaim their faith to anyone who will listen.

Channel Divinity: Blessing of the Righteous

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to channel the divine energy from your deity to improve your ability to inspire your allies. As an action, you can begin a song that lasts for one minute, entreating your patron to grant additional aid to your allies. For the next minute, whenever you grant a creature Bardic Inspiration, they gain an additional d4 in addition to your normal Bardic Inspiration die. This die can be used for any roll that can utilize Bardic Inspiration and can be used separately from the Bardic Inspiration granted or in addition to, adding the resulting numbers together. You can end the song anytime on your turn and the song ends automatically if you fall unconscious. After the song ends, any unused d4s granted by this ability disappear. You can use this ability once and must finish a short or long rest before using this ability again.

At 6th level, you gain an additional use of this ability before having to take a rest.

Divine Inspiration

Alternatively, when a creature is dealt damage while in possession of a bardic inspiration die, they can use their reaction to reduce the damage by the number rolled.
