College of Valor - Daring Skalds

Bards of the College of Valor are daring skalds whose tales keep alive the memory of the great heroes of the past, and thereby inspire a new generation of heroes. These bards gather in mead halls or around great bonfires to sing the deeds of the mighty, both past and present. They travel the land to witness great events firsthand and to ensure that the memory of those events doesn't pass from the world. With their songs, they inspire others to reach the same heights of accomplishment as the heroes of old.

 

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Valor at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.

Combat Inspiration

Normally, a creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you can roll that die and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll it just made before seeing the result. Alternatively at 3rd level, as a reaction, when an attack roll is made against a creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die, the creature can use its reaction to roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to their AC against that attack, before knowing whether it hits or misses.

Extra Attack

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Battle Magic

At 14th level, you have mastered the art of weaving spells and weapon use into a single harmonious act. When you use your action to cast a bard spell, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.
