Bard
Base Class: Bard

Originating in the isolated monasteries of Adar, the College of Thoughtsong unites the musical inspiration of bardic magic with psionic talent. "Thoughtsingers," as these bards call themselves, project the music of pure emotions and feelings directly into the minds of their audience. Adaran immigrants and kalashtar have spread this tradition to Khorvaire, and thoughtsingers are often on the front lines in the conflict between them and the Inspired. 

Psionic Spellcasting

When you join the College of Thoughtsong at 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast your bard spells as innate spells, requiring no components except material components with a listed cost.

Although you do not speak or make gestures when you cast a bard spell innately, there is an audible thrum in the air originating from you when you do so, and your eyes glow with psionic power as the spell takes effect. This makes it obvious you are the origin of whatever spell you are casting innately.

Eberron Server Errata: Your glow counts as a trigger for Counterspell and similar features and can't be hidden except by Subtle Spell and similar features.

Empathic Telepathy

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to communicate with any creature within 60 feet of you using limited telepathy. You don't need to see or share a language with a creature to communicate this way, but you can only project emotions, not words. You can communicate this way with any number of creatures within range you desire.

You may use this feature in conjunction with any other bard feature or spell to remove the requirement that you speak, sing, or orate, or that the creature affected by the feature or spell be able to hear you. (For instance, if an ally is within range of your Empathic Telepathy, you may grant them a Bardic Inspiration die without speaking a word, projecting a swelling surge of hope and determination directly into their mind. Alternatively, if you know and cast vicious mockery, you may project scorn and derision at a target within your Empathic Telepathy range, allowing you to affect the target of that spell without needing to be heard.)

Secrets of Thoughtsong

At 6th level, you learn two spells of your choice from the following list: aid, beacon fo hope, bless, blur, command, detect evil and good, divine favor, encode thoughts, enemies abound, guidance, haste, mage armor, mass healing word, mind spike, mirror image, prayer of healing, protection from evil and good, sanctuary, shield of faith, thaumaturgy, and warding bond.

The chosen spells count as bard spells for you but don't count against the number of bard spells you know.

Music of the Mind

Beginning at 14th level, you may start or continue a Countercharm performance for creatures within range of your Empathic Telepathy as a bonus action, instead of an action.

Additionally, as a bonus action while you are performing your Countercharm, you may grants each affected creature an immediate saving throw to end any spell or effect on itself that a Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma saving throw can end, ending the effect on a success. You may only grant this additional saving throw once, and must then finish a short or long rest before doing so again.
