Creating a Troubadour

Creating a troubadour should involve a level of theatricality. How did your character discover their uncanny abilities? Did a friend or relative teach them the troubadour's craft, or did they stumble upon it by chance? Are they driven to explore their power for the sake of its own mystery, or does their motivation lie in their music's benefit to others?

What convinced you to set out on the road to adventure? Did you give up a comfortable life as an entertainer or palace bard? Were you always a traveling performer, now simply thrust into a more dangerous life?

Quick Build

You can make a troubadour quickly by selecting Charisma as your highest attribute, followed by Dexterity or Constitution. Second, choose a background that reflects performance or entertainment experience. Third, choose the faerie fire, healing word, and infectious jig spells.

Class Features

As a troubadour, you gain the following class features.

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a simple weapon
• (a) a light crossbow and 20 bolts, or (b) a simple weapon.
• (a) leather armor
• (a) a diplomat's pack, (b) an entertainer's pack, (c) a scholar's pack
• Any musical instrument

Alternatively, you may start with 5d4 × 10 gp to buy your own equipment.

Expert Performer

At 1st level, you gain proficiency in Performance. Additionally, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any check you make that uses one of these proficiencies.

Additionally, you are deft at managing musical instruments, even in stressful situations. You can stow or unstow a musical instrument with the same movement as drawing or sheathing a weapon, and a hand holding a musical instrument counts as free for reloading and operating ranged weapons.

Concordance

Starting at 1st level, you can empower your allies with your song. When you take the Attack action, in place of making an attack you may grant a concordant note to a creature within 30 feet. The next time that creature makes an attack roll before the end of your next turn, it may roll your Concordance die and add the result to the roll. If the attack hits, the creature can roll your Concordance die and deal additional thunder damage equal to the result. An ally can only be affected by one concordant note at a time, and the bonus to the attack roll does not stack with other abilities that add a bonus die to attack rolls. You must sing and play an instrument to grant an ally a concordant note; you cannot do so if you are deafened, silenced, or otherwise unable to use your instrument.

Your Concordance die starts as a d4 and increases as shown in the class table, at level 7 (d6) and level 14 (d8). Additionally, the bonus thunder damage dealt goes up by one die at level 5 (2 dice) and level 11 (3 dice).

Spellcasting

By 2nd level, your music is capable of picking apart the very fabric of reality, singing new patterns into the weave of magic. Your spells help you adapt to new situations and extend magical support to your allies. The troubadour spell list is included at the end of this document.

Mystic Songs

At 2nd level, you may perform mystic songs that embolden and empower your allies. You can begin performing a Mystic Song as a bonus action, targeting either non-hostile or hostile creatures within 30 feet. You start out knowing two Mystic Songs of your choice, which are listed at the end of the class description. You learn an additional Mystic Song at 7th level and 12th level, as shown in the Mystic Songs Known column of the Troubadour table.

Troubadour Tradition

At 3rd level, you master the specific techniques of a Troubadour Tradition. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 6th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. You may use your Concordance feature in place of either, or both, attacks.

Honeyed Words

At 7th level, your music is able to shift the hardest hearts. You have advantage on the next Persuasion or Deception check you make to influence any creature who has listened to you perform for at least one minute continuously.

Additionally, you are adept at salvaging bad situations. When you or an ally within 30 feet fails a Charisma skill check, you may butt in and attempt to save face, adding 1d4 to the result and potentially changing the outcome. If you have already used this ability to influence a creature, you cannot influence that creature again until after a long rest.

Soothing Song

Also at 7th level, your melodies can relax your allies and invigorate their hearts. As part of a long or short rest, you sing this soothing song. Targeted creatures may reroll 1's or 2's rolled on any Hit Dice spent as part of the rest, and gain advantage on the next non-initiative ability check they make.

Shattering Song

Additionally at 11th level, you learn to channel your music with extraordinary flexibility and power. As an action, you can sing, shout, or otherwise perform a special note of power. When you do so, select one or two of the following effects:

• You may attempt to dispel all magical silence within 60 feet. If it is a result of a leveled spell, you may attempt a Charisma (Performance) check with a DC of 10 + the spell's level, dispelling the effect on a success. If it does not originate from a leveled spell, you automatically succeed.
• You may shatter all non-wielded or worn objects of your choice within 30 feet. Each affected object takes 12d8 thunder damage.
• You may blast all creatures of your choice within 30 feet with a shattering echo. Each affected creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. If they fail, they suffer 6d8 thunder damage and are deafened and have their movement speed reduced by half. If they fail by 5 or more, they are stunned until the end of their next turn. If they succeed, they take half damage and suffer no additional effects. They may reattempt the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, recovering on a success.

You may invoke each of these effects one time, regaining all uses after a long rest.

Improved Mystic Songs

At 14th level, you have effortless command of your Mystic Songs. Your Mystic Song range increases to 60 feet, and if you have no Mystic Song uses at the end of a short rest, you regain one.

Impossible Song

At 18th level, your musical magic resonates so strongly that you can bend the very passage of time. On your turn, you may grant your action to an ally affected by your Mystic Song. You lose your action, and the next time that ally takes a turn, they may take two actions.

You may grant an action in this way once, regaining the ability to do so after a short or long rest.

Multiclassing

Should you want to multiclass into troubadour, the prerequisites and proficiencies are listed below:

• Prerequisite: 13 in Charisma.
• Proficiencies gained: Light armor, two musical instruments.

Mystic Songs

These are the available options to select once you gain access to your Mystic Songs feature.

Troubadour Traditions

Troubadours may draw on different traditions as they aid their allies and lend support on the battlefield. You may choose which tradition your troubadour follows from the options listed below.

Songs of War

Starting at 3rd level, your Mystic Songs allow you to enter a battle trance, focused on the thrill of combat. Once per round while you are singing a Mystic Song, when you take damage from a weapon attack, you can reduce the damage taken by one roll of your Concordance die.

In addition, you learn the following Mystic Song, which doesn't count against your Mystic Songs known.

Concordant Strikes

Starting at 6th level, when you use your Concordance feature, you can grant a concordant note to yourself instead of an ally.

When you target yourself with your Concordance feature, you may do so as a bonus action.

Thunderous Defense

Starting at 10th level, when a character with one of your concordant notes is damaged with a melee weapon, they may explode the concordant note in response. As a reaction, they may roll your Concordance die, subtracting the result from the damage they suffer and dealing the result as thunder damage to the attacking creature.

Rousing Performance

At 15th level, you are able to inspire your allies before a battle, by delivering a special performance over the course of 1 minute. The next time you roll initiative, you automatically cast the heroism spell on all friendly creatures within 60 feet, up to a maximum of four times your Charisma modifier. While under the effect of this spell, creatures additionally gain advantage on all Strength ability checks. The spell does not require concentration when cast in this way.

You can cast the spell in this way once per long rest.

Soul of Battle

At 20th level, you become an unstoppable herald of battle. While you are singing a Mystic Song, you gain resistance to thunder, bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. Additionally, you gain resistance to one more damage type out of fire, cold, lightning, and acid damage. You select this damage type every time you begin singing a Mystic Song.

Spellsinger's Tradition

Spellsingers are troubadours fascinated by the interplay between music and magic - wandering performers intent on using their skills to explore the world's magical secrets. They share a wizard's fascination with knowledge, though the spellsinger still filters their understanding through the prism of song.

Spellsingers are most certainly not front-line combatants; their heavy reliance on spells makes them too vulnerable to head-ringing strikes. They prefer to focus on enhancing their allies' spells, and harnessing the leftover energy to bolster their own magical reserves.

Enchanting Rest

At 15th level, you can conjure uncanny peace and a tranquil atmosphere upon your allies. If you take 10 minutes to perform as part of a long or short rest, creatures of your choice who hear this song gain advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened for the next hour. Additionally, they gain resistance to the next instance of damage they suffer from any spell.

Once you perform in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Spellbinding Song

At 20th level, your music causes the weave to vibrate with power. While you are singing a Mystic Song, any spell of 6th level or lower cast by a friendly creature within its area takes effect as if cast at one slot level higher. Additionally, when you roll a saving throw to maintain concentration, you may choose to roll a Charisma (Arcana) check instead.

Stormcrow's Tradition

The stormcrow is an outlier among troubadours, an eccentric who is as likely to perform on a barren tor as in a packed feast hall. A stormcrow specializes in the music of desolate places, taming the wind and the rain as it lashes the landscape. Some historians believe the tradition dates to rogue storm giants, who taught lesser beings how to sing to the skies. Others think stormcrows are divinely inspired, eccentrics touched by the whims of thunder gods or elemental princes. In either case, stormcrows tend to be wanderers and drifters, and a village only knows they have seen one when a tornado passes by unexpectedly - or, if the village was unwelcoming, touches down.

Stormcrows flit about the battlefield, darting around on summoned winds. They often stay just at the edges of the melee, relying on their mobility to keep them safe as they sing terrible blasts of lightning and thunder.

Sunchanter's Tradition

Sunchanters are troubadours strongly tied to clerical faiths and divine magic. Their magic invokes the power of the gods, calling listeners to acts of faith and service. Some Sunchanters are affiliated with a specific deity, and serve that deity's temple; other sunchanters call on many or even all the gods, their songs harnessing ambient faith as often as strands of the weave.

Sunchanters do not leave their allies to face the darkness alone, but prefer to surround themselves with stout hearts while singing glad music to hold back the tide. A Sunchanter's skills work fine from the back lines, but it would be unrighteous to ask others to face dangers a Sunchanter themselves would not.

Rootcaller

At 6th level, you may command the roots and vines with your song. When an ally deals damage with one of your concordant notes, you can use your reaction to summon magical roots to bind the target, as if they were targeted by the entangle spell.

You can summon roots in this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all uses after finishing a long rest.

Greensong

At 10th level, you learn one 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd- level spell of your choice from the Druid spell list. These count as tradition spells for you.

When you cast any of your tradition spells while singing a Mystic Song, one creature affected by your song regains 1d4 hit points.

Paean to the Elements

At 15th level, you can sing a song over the course of 1 minute which is able to invoke a blessing from nature itself and shield your allies like a cloak. After the performance, select a number of listeners up to your Charisma modifier. Each target immediately gains resistance for 1 hour to one damage type of its choice out of acid, cold, fire, lightning, and poison.

Once you grant this blessing, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Glory of the Greenwood

At 20th level, creatures of your choice who are targeted by your Mystic Songs gain the following benefits:

• They regain 1 hit point at the start of each of their turns.
• They may ignore natural difficult terrain, and are each surrounded by a 5-foot radius circle of grasping roots which is difficult terrain for creatures hostile to you.

In addition, while you are singing a Mystic Song, you gain resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and poison damage.

Bloodcaller's Tradition

Troubadours of the Bloodcaller tradition put their music to a more sinister purpose - their melodies resonate directly with the blood of the living, and even sometimes the dead. Some Bloodcallers simply find a sanguine resonance to their songs; others may have learned their art from blood mages, or in benighted vampiric courts.

Bloodcallers still serve their allies with their song, though. A bloodcaller can help restore injured teammates, sap the vitality of enemies, and unleash devastating blood magic on the battlefield.

Crimson Concordance

At 6th level, when a creature deals damage with one of your concordant notes, it can regain hit points equal to half the damage dealt by the concordant note. Also, when you grant a concordant note, you can choose for it to deal necrotic damage instead of thunder.

Reap the Harvest

At 10th level, while you are singing a Mystic Song, you may use your reaction to harvest the life of any creature that dies within its area. Before the end of your next turn, you can use this harvested life to cast one of your tradition spells without expending a spell slot.

You can cast a number of levels worth of spells in this way equal to your proficiency bonus. This total resets after finishing a short or long rest.

Blood Bond

At 15th level, you can sing a song over the course of 1 minute which reveals to your allies the latent power in their own blood. After the performance, select a number of listeners up to your Charisma modifier. Each target receives two of the following three boons of their choice, which last for one hour.

• It gains resistance to necrotic damage.
• It gains temporary hit points equal to twice your troubadour level.
• Once per turn when it regains hit points, it may add your Charisma modifier.

Once you perform in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Power in the Blood

At 20th level, you cannot drop below 1 hit point while you are singing a Mystic Song.

Mindwhisper's Tradition

The Mindwhisper tradition is secretive and little-known, for its adherents dabble with mysterious and fearsome powers. They possess innate mental powers, and a talent for reading thoughts and influencing the minds of others. An identified Mindwhisper is rarely trusted, but they are often able to quietly worm their way into positions of power.

The Mindwhisper prefers to stay at the back of the fight, manipulating from the shadows. Their spells and abilities let them strike fear into enemies' hearts, breaking their confidence and causing psychic pain. That their allies might be at least as uncomfortable is a mere detail.

Blossoming Telepath

At 6th level, you gain access to the Telepathic Intrusion psionic power. You gain a number of psi points equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining them when you finish a short or long rest. You can use these points to empower your Telepathic Intrusion or cast your tradition spells, spending 1 psi point per level of the spell in place of a spell slot.

When you use your Telepathic Intrusion power, you can use your Concordance feature as a bonus action.

Also, when you grant a concordant note, you can choose for it to deal psychic damage instead of thunder.

Psychic Fortitude

At 10th level, you gain resistance to psychic damage. While you are singing a Mystic Song, you can select a number of targets up to your Charisma modifier to gain resistance to psychic damage.

Empty the Soul

At 15th level, you learn a song that can wrap a creature's mind away, sealing it off from the world, which you can project into its mind over the course of 1 minute. After the performance, the target gains the benefits of the mind blank spell for 1 hour. Once you project this performance, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Mind Sear

At 20th level, your mind is a fortress, even as your songs rend the minds of your foes. While you are singing a Mystic Song, you gain the following benefits:

• You are immune to psychic damage, and to the charmed and frightened conditions.
• When an enemy is damaged by your concordant notes, it must make a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
• When a frightened enemy takes damage from your Telepathic Intrusion or a concordant note, it takes additional psychic damage equal to two rolls of your Concordance die.

Hellcantor's Tradition

The tradition of the Hellcantor is disfavored for a reason. Hellcantors tap into the power of the lower planes, threading fiendish melodies into their music. Their songs may be discordant or uncannily beautiful, as the situation calls. While some Hellcantors pass along their art through forbidden texts or secret tutelage, others are rumored to cavort with fiendish powers directly, selling their souls in exchange for profane music.

Hellcantors are offensive troubadours, standing behind their allies and unleashing infernal fires across the battlefield. Their abilities will wrap their allies in hellfire, curse their enemies' attacks, and eventually bend their foes to their devilish will.

Sellsoul Stomp

You perform a lively dance step, which sets infernal flames licking at the dancers' feet until it envelops their entire bodies. Each targeted creature is wreathed in hellfire. The first time each turn they are hit by a melee attack, the attacker takes fire damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

Fiendish Flames

At 6th level, your fire burns with devilish intensity. When you deal fire damage with a spell, Infernal Melodies, or your Sellsoul Stomp, you can add your proficiency bonus to the damage dealt. Also, when you grant a concordant note, you can choose for it to deal fire damage instead of thunder.

Infernal Hide

At 10th level, you receive an ever-shifting boon. When you finish a long rest, select one damage type out of acid, cold, fire, poison, or lightning. You gain resistance to that damage until you finish a long rest. In addition, you gain advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Devil's Bargain

At 15th level, you can sing a song over the course of 1 minute which offers your allies a small slice of the fiendish power you enjoy. After the performance, a number of listening creatures up to your Charisma modifier can choose to make a fiendish deal. Each creature who accepts the deal has its hit point maximum reduced by a number equal to your troubadour level, and gains temporary hit points equal to twice that amount. If a creature fails a saving throw while they have any temporary hit points from this ability, they may sacrifice all remaining temporary hit points and add the amount lost to the number rolled, potentially changing the result. This maximum hit point reduction disappears at the end of a long rest.

Once you perform this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Hell's Temptations

At 20th level, you can extend your infernal power to your enemies as well. Anytime a creature takes damage from one of your concordant notes, you can use your reaction to attempt to charm it. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be charmed by you until the end of your next turn.

While a creature is charmed by you in this way, you can use your bonus action to forcibly command it to move up to 30 feet and make one attack against a target of your choice. The target will not move into obviously dangerous terrain or attack itself.

Skeletons' Seungmu

You perform a sinister-yet-sprightly tune, summoning hands of bone to aid your allies. Targets get advantage on their opportunity attacks, and when they deal damage to an enemy with a concordant note, skeletal hands erupt from the ground to seize the enemy. The attack's target must make a Strength saving throw or be grappled until the end of their next turn, with an escape DC equal to your spell save DC.

Deathly Echoes

At 6th level, when an undead under your control deals damage with one of your concordant notes, it can add your Charisma modifier to the damage dealt. Also, when you grant a concordant note, you can choose for it to deal necrotic damage instead of thunder.

Empowered Dead

Also at 6th level, your woken dead gains one of the following traits of your choice when you animate it:

• Bursting Wounds: Any creature who hits the woken dead with a melee attack takes acid damage equal to your Charisma modifier.
• Grasping Claws: The woken dead gains proficiency in Athletics, using your proficiency bonus for its own. When it makes an attack, it can attempt to grapple the target as a bonus action.
• Chilling Aura: Creatures of your choice who start their turns within 15 feet of the woken dead have their speed reduced by 10 feet.

You can replace your choice with another whenever you finish a long rest or create a new woken dead.

Soulsong

At 10th level, you learn one 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd- level spell of your choice from the necromancy school. These count as tradition spells for you.

Additionally, when inspecting a corpse, you can use your action to sing a brief melody and commune with its spirit. You can ask a single question as if you had cast speak with dead. You can do this a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, regaining all uses after a long rest.

Grave Blessing

At 15th level, you can sing a song over the course of 1 minute to call up a font of necromantic power to strengthen your allies. After the performance, you wreathe a number of listening creatures up to your Charisma modifier in deathly power. Each target gains temporary hit points equal to your troubadour level, and has resistance to necrotic damage as long as they possess these temporary hit points. Undead creatures have advantage on all attacks while they possess these temporary hit points.

Undying Song

At 20th level, your song summons up mighty waves of necromantic energy. Friendly creatures targeted by your mystic songs gain the Undead Fortitude trait from the Woken Dead stat block.

Creatures slain by your concordant notes rise as additional Woken Dead under your command, entering initiative immediately after you. They keep their prior size and are raised with hit points equal to 5 times their Challenge Rating. These undead become lifeless again after 1 minute.

The phantasm lasts for the duration, must be smaller than a 10-foot cube, and is imperceptible except to the target. It seems real, including sound, smell, and any other properties as needed. The spell has no effect on undead or constructs. It can't cause damage or inflict conditions. The target behaves as if the phantasm is real, and can inspect the phantasm as an action, making an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If it is close enough to touch the phantasm, it has advantage on this check. On a success, the spell ends.

As a bonus action while you are within range, you can adjust the phantasm (for instance, moving a creature up to 30 feet, opening a door, or shattering a window.)

Ichorous Blood

4th-level necromancy (blood magic)

• Range: Self

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Replaces: Immolation

You channel agonizing flames, wreathing a creature you can see within range. At the start of each of its turns, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw, suffering 10d6 fire damage on a failure. On a success, it takes half as much damage and the spell ends for that creature. While a target is on fire, it casts bright light for 30 feet and dim light for an additional 30 feet.

As a bonus action, you can spread the flames from any targeted creature to another within 10 feet of it, making that creature an additional target. If damage from this spell reduces a target to 0 hit points, the target is turned to ash.

Infectious Jig

1st-level enchantment

• Classes: Bard, Troubadour
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, 1 minute

A creature of your choice that you can see within range is struck by an impossible, irresistible need to dance. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or find its feet moving of their own accord. At the start of each of their turns, the target moves up to 20 feet in a direction of your choice. A target is immune to this spell if it can't be charmed, and won't move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit.

As a reaction if the target ends its turn within 5 feet of another creature, you can force that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it becomes an additional target. At the end of each of its turns, a target can repeat the saving throw, ending the spell on a success.

All creatures within a 30-foot-radius who can hear the melody must make a Wisdom saving throw, or become charmed for the duration. An affected creature is incapacitated and must spend its movement on its turn moving towards the point if possible. A target is immune to this spell if it can't be charmed, and won't move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit.

At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on a success. Anytime the target takes damage, it can reattempt the saving throw.

As a bonus action, you can move the source of the melody to another point within 30 feet of its current location.

• Inverse Life Link: When one target loses hit points the other gains and equal number of hit points, when one target regains hit points (other than from this effect), the other takes an equal amount of necrotic damage.

Regardless of the option, the link lasts until the spell ends, or the link has transfered 40 hit points of healing or damage to the other target.
