College of Hymns

The College of Hymns is the home of bards who mastered their craft in the Sacred choirs of great temples or under the tutelage of someone who dwelled there. Tutored by Clerics, Paladins, and other priests, these bards learn to use their magic to Inspire faith and zealotry in others.

The bards of this college are often seen with crusading paladins or singing in the halls of the greatest temples. They usually follow the tenets of whatever temple's songs they recite and can be a mighty force for the betterment of others, or seek only to use their talents for whatever cause they choose to follow for good or ill.

Hymn of Saints

When you choose this college at 3rd level, you learn two cleric cantrips of your choice. Additionally you learn the prayer of healing spell. These spells are always known to you, count as bard spells, and do not count against your total number of known spells.

Hymn of Salvation

Also at 3rd level, you learn to inspire faith in others. When a creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you regains hit points it may roll its Bardic Inspiration die and gain that number as temporary hit points. Additionally if you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to any creature you may grant a Bardic Inspiration die to that creature as part of the same action instead of as a bonus action that turn.

Hymn of Zeal
