College of Quivers

Bards of the College of Quivers are the masters of the plucked string. They are equally comfortable singing rousing battle hymns accompanied by lyre to spur their comrades to glory as they are sending volleys of arrows into a line of charging enemies. Off the battlefield, they sing songs of heroism and remembrance to remember conflicts past and future.

You can use only one Trick Shot option per turn.

Defensive Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die. You also add the number rolled to your AC until the start of your next turn.

Two Birds, One Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target you hit and to any other creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of the target. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die.

Pinning Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target you hit.
