Mystery shot

At level 3- with a well practice move, the bard can now shoot a coin or card at an enemy target, and imbue them with magic. When you gain this feature, you learn two Mystery Shot options of your choice (see “Mystery shot Options” below).

Once per turn when you fire a coin or a card as part of the Attack action, you can apply one of your Mystery Shot options to that coin or card. You decide to use the option when the projectile hits a creature, unless the option doesn’t involve an attack roll. You have two uses of this ability, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.

You gain 2 chosen shots when you reach level 3, and an additional Mystery Shot option of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th, 7th, 10th, 15th and 18th. Each option also improves when you become an 18th-level Bard.

Mystery Shot list:

The Mystery Shot feature lets you choose options for it at certain levels. The options are presented here in alphabetical order. They are all magical effects, and each one is associated with one of the schools of magic.

If an option requires a saving throw, your Mystery Shot save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dex modifier.

Banishing shot

 You use abjuration magic to try to temporarily banish your target to a harmless location in the Feywild. The creature hit by the arrow must also succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished. While banished in this way, the target’s speed is 0, and it is incapacitated. At the end of its next turn, the target reappears in the space it vacated or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.

After you reach 18th level in this class, a target also takes 2d6 force damage when the arrow hits it.

 Beguiling Arrow
 can be chosen at level 7 or above- Your enchantment magic causes this arrow to temporarily beguile its target.

The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or it is charmed by the chosen ally until the start of your next turn. This effect ends early if the chosen ally attacks the charmed target, deals damage to it, or forces it to make a saving throw.

The psychic damage increases to 2d10 when you reach 18th level in this class.

Each creature in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 piercing damage. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.

If the target is within the weapon’s range and there is a path large enough for the Projectile to travel to the target, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. Otherwise, the Projectile will fall to the ground after traveling as far as it can. On a failed save, the target takes damage as if it were hit by the Projectile, plus an extra 1d6 force damage, and you learn the target’s current location. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and you don’t learn its location.

when attempting sleight of hands rolls in regards of games of chance (not skill), such as dice or cards (not chess sets), roll with advantage.

At 3th level, you gain the ability to infuse projectiles with magic. Whenever you fire a nonmagical projectile- either a card or a coin, you can make it magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. The magic fades from the projectile immediately after it hits or misses its target.

Observant eye

At level 6- During gameplay, either chance or skill, the bard may spend a round concentrating on a single opponent, at the end of the turn may then roll insight with advantage against that opponent.

 

the Bard can use this ability twice per short rest

Penny for your thoughts

At level 6- during a game of chance, the bard can use his coins, dice or cards and soothing voice to get his rivals to talk absentmindedly, learning things they might not want to reveal otherwise.
The bard will have advantage on insight rolls against the person he is playing against.
the opponent should roll a saving check against charisma, Spell save DC.
on a failed roll, the opponent will reveal something he rather not to- the player can try and steer the conversation towards a specific subject but he cannot control which information will be given (on dm discretion if the player is trying to steer the opponent into a too specific issue, it will make the task harder)
on a successful roll, the opponent realizes what's going on and reveals nothing. his reactions will be accordingly.

this attempt may happen once per short rest

Player's Gambit

At level 14- Once per day, roll a sleight of hand with advantage to manage to pull out the exact card you need, or the exact die roll you need to win.
on a failed roll, you still pull the result you wanted but your rivals you are playing against pick up on your trick.
