College of Flavor

Because of their usefulness in the world of food, bards of the college of flavor tend to be specialists of conjuration, transmutation, and illusionary magic. Learning to conjure flavorful ingredients is one of the first hurdles of this art, but transmutation is often used as a crutch by beginners, as it can turn even the most bland ingredient into a treat for the senses. Once the dish is completed, illusion magic can transform its presentation, however extravagant it began, into a masterpiece fit for only the most prestigious of kings.

Because of their special talents, bards of this college are sometimes called upon to prepare poisons or tricks built into their cuisine. While most find this corruption of their craft to be sacrilege, some take pleasure in experimenting with the magical possibilities of their foods, harmful or otherwise.

Bonus Poficiencies

When you join the College of Flavor at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the use of Cook's Utensils and Brewer's supplies

Inspirational Treat

At 3rd level, you can conjure a small enchanted treat for your companions. When you are within melee range of a creature, you can expend one use of your bardic inspiration in order to conjure a small treat for them. On that creature's turn they can eat the treat as a bonus action. A creature that ingests this treat gains a number of temporary hit points equal to your bardic inspiration die + your spellcasting modifier. These hit points last for up to 1 hour.

The enchanted treats created by this ability lose their magical properties 1 minute after they are created.

Conjure Cuisine

By 6th level, your skills of conjuration have evolved, allowing you to conjure entire feasts rather than simple ingredients. You learn the spell create food and water and it is a bard spell for you. This spell does not count against your number of spells known. Additionally, you can manifest the following special properties when casting it:

• You can cast this spell as a ritual
• The food you create is delightfully tasty, though not more so than that you create by hand
• You can create wine or mead in place of water

Enchanted Seasoning

Explosion of Flavor

By 14th level, you have learned an enchantment to supercharge the flavors of a dish to a level too extreme for mortal mouths. As an action, you can expend your enchanted seasoning feature to apply a special enchantment to a dish. This enchantment adds a mildly spicy flavor, but is otherwise undetectable by nonmagical means. This enchantment persists upon the dish for up to 24 hours. As an action at any point during this time, you can cause the dish to overflow with magical energy and unleash a wave of force. Creatures within a 10-foot sphere centered on the enchanted dish must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 10d8 force damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. If a creature has ingested the treat when it explodes, it automatically fails the save and takes double the damage.
