Tales are told every day, these bards love these stories. They have the same understanding that the college of lore does, which is that people will live and die for these stories. These bards will be there to help adventurers if they are not adventurers themselves. Fairly common in the world of Pondaera.
Bonus Proficiencies
At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.
Combat Inspiration
Also at 3rd level, a creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you can roll that die and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll it just made. Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the creature, it can use its reaction to roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to its AC against that attack, after seeing the roll but before knowing whether it hits or misses.

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Battle Magic
At 14th level, when you use your action to a cast a bard spell, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.
