College of Legends

Bards of the College of Legends study the great epics of the past and the figures whose mighty deeds were immortalized within them. To these bards, the true legends are the ones that composed such works, living out the adventures themselves alongside the heroes. Members of this college seek their own place in history by finding a worthy companion to base their own masterpiece off of. If they find no other they deem suitable, they are more than willing and capable of filling that role themselves.





Campfire Tales

Starting at 3rd level, whenever you perform your Song of Rest, you may regale your listeners with an epic story. Choose one of the tales below. Any creature that receives the extra healing from your Song of Rest class feature also receives the listed benefit until their next long rest or until you use this feature again.

Tale of Enduring Hardship. While you have 5 or less levels of exhaustion, you may treat your exhaustion level as though it were a level lower.

Tale of a Forbidden Love. You may roll an additional healing die from this Song of Rest.

Tale of a Glorious Victory. You may roll a d4 and add the result to your next initiative roll.

Tale of a Great Voyage. Your speed increases by 5 feet.





Intrinsic Motivation

Also at 3rd level, your desire to earn your place among history's greatest bards allows you to push yourself beyond your limits.

When you cast a spell using a Bard spell slot, you may expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to treat the spell as though it were cast using a spell slot one level higher.





Lingering Inspiration

Beginning at 6th level, your magnificent works are instilled deep within the hearts of your allies, fueling them for longer than before.

After a creature uses a Bardic Inspiration die from you, that creature gains one Lingering Inspiration die, a d4. This die has the same uses and restrictions detailed by your Bardic Inspiration, but a creature may not use it on the same turn that they use a Bardic Inspiration die from you. This die becomes a d6 at 15th level.





Epopee

At 14th level, you begin crafting your own masterpiece for the ages, adding to it while you live out your adventures. Choose one creature or yourself to be the focus of your story. You may change the focus of your story at the end of a long rest.

While you are the focus of your own story, you gain a Lingering Inspiration die whenever you expend a use of Bardic Inspiration.

When the focus of your story rolls a Bardic Inspiration die from you, they may choose to gain temporary hit points equal to the result, or to reroll the Bardic Inspiration die and use either result.

When the focus of your story rolls a Lingering Inspiration die from you, they may choose to restore hit points equal to the result of the roll, or to give another creature other than you that can see them within 60 feet of them a Lingering Inspiration die.
