Inspiring Treat

3rd-level College of Culinary Arts feature

Whenever you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, you can combine cosmic ingredients to create an Inspiring Treat, which is automatically added to the inventory of that creature. The creature can use a reaction to eat the treat instantly, otherwise the treat can be eaten later using a bonus action. The treats crumble to dust after 24 hours. Eating the treat produces a random effect determined by rolling 1d8 on the Treat Table below:

Aromatic Aura

6th-level College of Culinary Arts feature

The aroma of your delicious creations is far too enticing for anyone to pass up on. So long as you are conscious, a wonderful scent of baked goods or exotic spices follows you around wherever you go, piquing the interest of all who are capable of smelling it. Even hostile creatures will find themselves distracted by the wonderful scents coming from the food you make.

Starting at 6th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 ft. of you cannot be put to sleep against their will and have advantage on Persuasion checks as well as Death Saving Throws, so long as you are conscious. Additionally, you can use your reaction to expend a Bardic Inspiration die to use Enticing Aroma on a target within 10 ft. of you, which imposes disadvantage on any attack or saving throw.

     

Feast for All

14th-level College of Culinary Arts feature

A Culinary Bard never lets a stomach go hungry so long as they are around. With such fantastic experience, you can now create even more delicacies in the blink of an eye.

Whenever you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, you can create 3 Inspiring Treats instead of 1. The 3 treats can go to one target or can be shared between up to 3 targets within 30 ft. of you. If a target receives more than 1 treat, they can use their reaction to eat them all at the same time or use a bonus action later to eat them individually. Roll 1d8 on the Treat Table for each Inspiring Treat to determine the effect.
