College of Soothing

This college was born out of a time in Abeir's history when there was no divine magic. People relied on druids and bards for healing. These bards in particular worked in hospitals and hospice. Many magical ailments defied healing and their credo was to heal those that they could and bring comfort to those they could not.

 

Level 3: Medic Training

at 3 level you gain proficiency in medicine and with herbalism kits. In order to try to keep alive on a battlefield you learn proficiency in medium armour and with shields and may build your spellcasting focus into your shield.

 

Level 3: Soothing Words

Also from 3 level. While a creature has a bardic inspiration from you their minds feel calmed, they have advantage on saving throws against fear and charm. They can use the die in the normal way or to add to any healing they receive.

 

Level 6: Invigorating Inspiration

when a creature uses an inspiration die from you they gain temporary hit points equal to the number rolled.

 

Level 6: Universal Speech

6th-level College of Soothing feature

You have gained the ability to make your speech intelligible to any creature. As an action, choose one or more creatures within 60 feet of you, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). The chosen creatures can magically understand you, regardless of the language you speak, for 1 hour.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot to use it again.

Level 14: Pay it forward...or not

from 14 level, when a creature uses an inspiration die from you they retain a mote of healing energy. As a reaction they may heal another creature by the amount of the roll. Alternatively they can absorb that mote to reduce their own exhaustion level by one or to regain an expended hit die.

 

Level 14: Soothing Aura

Also from 14 level, you can expend a use of bardic inspiration to cast the spell calm emotions. If you fall asleep while it is active the spell continues until you wake or take damage ( unless that damage is taken within the spells normal duration, in which case a concentration check may be made ). Many high level bards from this college either own or run hospitals and sleep on site.
