College of the Writer

Those who choose to attend the College of Writing wish to write enthralling epics and lamentable tragedies. They work tirelessly to master the art of storytelling so their tales may live through generations. The most skilled of these bards, however, find their writings so convincing that reality tends to shift and grant their writings a life of their own...

I am a Writer When you join the College of the Writer at level 3, you learn the art of the pen, and are skilled in creating compelling fiction. You gain proficiency in Artisan's Tools (Calligrapher's Supplies) and Deception, as well as one other skill of your choice. You may also use your personal book of writings as a spellcasting focus instead of a musical instrument.

Fix the Narrative Also at level 3, your embellishment of your allies' actions motivate them to perform at their best. When an ally you can see within 30 feet of you uses a bardic inspiration, you may use your reaction to allow them to reroll it, keeping the highest result. You may do this after they roll, but before the DM tells them the outcome.

Reality Rewrite Starting at level 6, your stories are so compelling that you can write fiction into reality. You may spend 1 minute writing in your book to create a mundane item of value no greater than five times your bard level in gold. Examples of this include: Creating a hempen rope that can be found in your bag.

Creating a small raft that can be found just around the bend from a river you are trying to cross.

Creating a lockpick that was hidden in your boot. Objects or changes written into the world in this way manifest as if they have always been there and disappear after a long rest. You may do this only once per long rest.
