Bonus Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you have access to all abjuration spells except for regenerative and restorative ones.

Restful Sanctuary

Starting at 3rd level, During long rests you and your party gain the benefits of the alarm and sanctuary spells. During this time, you must maintain a melody to keep these benefits active. After a long rest under this ability one of your uses of bardic inspiration are exhausted.

Warning Call

Starting at 6th level, you can make a performance check to find nearby threats. This performance check allows you to speak to the threats you find within one mile psychically, and you gain advantage on one Charisma based check to persuade them to leave, intimidate them into avoiding or attacking you, or deceive them about the strength or location of your party.

Village Protector

Starting at 14th level, You may expend a use of bardic inspiration to play a melody to misdirect your enemies from detecting all creatures and structures of your choice in an area 1,000 square feet times your charisma modifier plus your proficiency score the radius can be added upon by any other bards with this feature. This feature lasts a number of hours equal to your charisma modifier. This barrier of detection can be seen through by overcoming a wisdom saving throw equal to your spell save DC. If more than one participant is involved in the magical melody this saving throw is done with disadvantage.
