Legendary Inspiration

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to apply your knowledge of legends past to inspire those around you. When a recipient of your Bardic Inspiration rolls the bonus die they can instead roll two dice and take the higher of the two.

Heroic Resolve

At 6th level, you understand what legends of the past endured for their heroic actions. This inspires you to push yourself beyond normal limits and thus while you are not incapacitated you are under the effects of the Heroism spell. This grants you immunity to being frightened and you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier at the start of each of your turns while you are not incapacitated.

Legends Stand

Starting at 14th level, you have developed a complete understanding of how legendary deeds inspire others to perform similar feats. When a creature currently inspired with one of your Bardic Inspirations would suffer damage that drops them to 0 hit points they lose the Bardic Inspiration and drop to 1 hit point instead. This also inspires one of their allies and they can choose one creature that can see them to gain the lost Bardic Inspiration, but it must be used before the end of that creature's next turn.

Heroic Beacon

At 14th level, you gain the ability to become a beacon to those around you, invoking the stories of legends past. You learn the Beacon of Hope spell and once per long rest, you can cast the Beacon of Hope without expending a spell slot. When using this ability to cast the spell it does not require concentration on your part to maintain; however, if you drop below 0 hit points the spell fades. If using this ability to cast the spell it also does not require somatic components and cannot be the subject of Counterspell or Dispel Magic.
