College of Flavor

The College of Flavor is an unusual bard college that focuses on the culinary arts rather than the traditional song, dance or music. Your refined palette has driven you to search for new recipes and tastes from across the world, not only to inspire new spells, but to bring a smile to all who lay your delicious meals upon their tongues. Though you may not have traditional talent, you may still perform with flamboyantly cooked meals and entertain with elaborate works of delicious art. Eccentric as you may be, you shall always keep in mind a crucial fact. No matter what kind of utensil acts as your paintbrush, and an ever-burning flame of passion will always be your canvas.

Meal of Rest

At 3rd level, you can cook up a delicious meal instead of singing during a short rest. This meal heals all who eat it for the same hit points as your Song Of Rest, but additionally, it boosts their spirits, restoring 1 Spell Slot of their choice. The amount of spell slots recovered increases to 2 at 9th level, and to 3 at 18th level.

Arcane Chef

Starting at 3rd level, your skills as a chef have led you to mastery over food preparation. This has allowed you to cast certain spells that were previously untouched by your fellow bards. These spells are innate and therefore don’t take up any space in your spells known list.

3rd level	Flaming Sphere, Protection from Poison

9th level	Fire Strike, Creation

 

Magical Dish

At 6th level, your experience with cooking allows you to infuse your food with different magical effects that depend on the flavor of the dish you create. You can only infuse food with magic as you use your Meal of Rest. You may prepare 2 dishes of your choice per Short Rest. This amount increases to 4 at 8th level, and then to 6 at 10th level.
