Bard Subclasses

Suggested Published Subclasses

  • College of Spirits (Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft). Following deathly inspiration these bards parlay in the tales of those passed. A geist bard might draw upon spirits they see in the Ethereal Plane. Or a draconic orator manifests the lost draconic ancestors to reclaim her people's stories.

  • College of Whispers (Xanathar's Guide to Everything). With conniving psychic insight an eldritch cultist weaves corrupting schemes. Or a human would forsake their identity to become a powerful peddler of influence. Bards of these leanings always find their place in the dark recesses of Kyme's societies.
