Bard College: College of Tempo

Whether it's the rhythm of a song, the dramatic pauses... in one's prose, or the perfect delivery of a gut buster of a joke; Bards of the College of Tempo always have impeccable timing. They can often be found surrounded by captivated audiences who hang on every word they utter, only after the performance realizing how very late the hour has gotten. In a fight, College of Tempo Bards are adept at orchestrating the beat of battle. They open up the time between attacks for allies to utilize, and manipulate the pacing of events in their favour.

Ever Punctual

When you join this college at 3rd level, you gain a bonus to initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.

Inspired Action

Also at 3rd level, a creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you now has the option to spend it within the next 10 minutes to gain another reaction that it can use in addition to the usual actions it has in a round. As usual a creature can only use one reaction per trigger.

Beginning at 10th level, your Bardic Inspiration die can instead be spent for a bonus action. At 15th level your Bardic Inspiration die can be spent for an action.

Pace Maker

Once you reach 6th level, you now know the spells Slow and Haste, and they are added to your Bard spell list. Additionally, once per long rest you can spend one minute to cast one of the two spells at third level without expending a spell slot.

Encore

At 14th level, once per long rest you may choose to use this feature before making a Charisma skill check. After you roll for the check, you record the total number rolled including bonuses and then must use that number again for the next skill check that you make before your next long rest regardless of the outcome.
