College of Reveries

Most peoples first impression of a bard of the College of Reveries is that they are lazy and aloof. They always appear to be lost in some daydream or another. It seems that one would be well justified in underestimating these odd solipsists.

However, there are those who have witnessed a strange phenomenon while attending a rare performance from one of these bards. The attendees will swear that they experienced wildly vivid and powerful memories. Some attest to being spirited away to their most traumatic or triumphant moments. Others will swear that they lived someone else's life as if it was their very own. In truth, the realm of memory is a powerful and strange frontier and the bards of the College or Reveries are its masters.

The Memory Palace

When you join the College of Reveries at 3rd level, you gain the ability to recall any of your memories with perfect detail. 

Collective Unconscious

At 3rd Level, you gain the ability to peer into others pasts. As an action, you can experience the memory of another creature within 30 feet.

When you gain this feature, you can choose a singular and strong memory from your past to become a reverie, which are detailed below. In order to use a reverie, you must have some sensory experience that triggers the foundational memory. As an action, you can choose a creature within 30 feet to be affected by your reverie. An unwilling creature must make an Intelligence saving throw in order to resist the intrusion into their mind. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. You can end the reverie with a bonus action or reaction. 

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once).

You gain the use of another reverie at 6th and 14th level.
