College of Pedagogues

All bards are collectors of knowledge, both widely known and widely forgotten, but where most would hoard that knowledge for their own use, the College of Pedagogues seeks to spread that knowledge. Members of this college believe that truth and knowledge are the highest ideal, and wish to use their knowledge to enlighten and bolster others so that everyone may achieve their highest selves.

Teachers and tutors, educators and guides, these bards bring the magic of learning to all those they encounter.

A Lifetime of Study

3rd-level College of Pedagogues feature

You have learned and collected even more lore than other bards. When you make an Intelligence ability check, you can roll one of your Bardic Inspiration dice and add the number rolled to the check. The die is not expended when rolled in this way.

Bardic Instruction

Your words bring out the best in those you teach. While a creature has a Bardic Inspiration die you have given it, that creature has advantage on all ability checks which use a skill.

Spell Tutor

6th-level College of Pedagogues feature

Through aid and instruction, you are able to allow even the magically disinclined to cast spells. You are now able to create magical pamphlets which describe the casting of a spell. To create one pamphlet, you must:
- Have ink, paper, and a quill.
- Expend a spell slot of the spell's level.
- Spend ten minutes transcribing the spell onto the pamphlet.
- Know the spell or have a scroll or spellbook which contains the spell at hand.

A creature which can read a language you can write can use a pamphlet while holding it to cast the spell at its lowest level, using the spell's normal casting time, and using your spell attack modifier or spell save DC. If the spell requires concentration, the creature which cast the spell from the pamphlet must concentrate on the spell.

A pamphlet lasts until its spell is cast or until your next long rest, when the pamphlet crumbles to dust and is destroyed.

Knowledge Eternal

14th-level College of Pedagogues feature

Your teachings are indelible, outlasting more common instruction. When you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, that die lasts until it is used or until the end of the creature's next long rest, instead of expiring within ten minutes of being given.
