## Bard College ### College of Bravura The College of Bravura is for bards who are refined, elegant, and perhaps a touch arrogant. Some have received training in the swashbuckler's arts, while others naturally exude an easy confidence. But all bravura bards have decided to set aside a little of their own ego, in favor of lending it to their allies. Bravura bards come from any walk of life; indeed, detractors may assume all bards start their careers in this college. But the College of Bravura requires a certain swagger, which tends to draw humans, particularly, to its practice. #### College of Bravura Features | Bard Level | Features | |:---:|:-----------| | 3rd | Bonus Proficiencies, Keen Eye, Nimble Step | | 6th | Extra Attack | | 14th | Turn the Tide | #### Bonus Proficiencies When you join the College of Bravura at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with firearms and bucklers*, and one skill of your choice out of Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion. If you are already proficient in all three, you gain proficiency in any skill of your choice. ___
*See Appendix 1.

#### Keen Eye Also at 3rd level, you can encourage your allies with a master swordsman's keen eye and deft strike. For 1 minute after an ally expends one of your Bardic Inspiration dice, their attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. Additionally, as a reaction after a creature within 30 feet scores a critical hit, you may expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration, rolling the die three times and adding the result to the damage dealt. #### Nimble Step Also at 3rd level, when you grant Bardic Inspiration to an ally, they may use their reaction to move 10 feet without provoking attacks of opportunity. #### Extra Attack Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. #### Turn the Tide Starting at 14th level, anytime an ally within 30 feet scores a critical hit, you recover one expended use of your Bardic Inspiration. In addition, once per turn when you miss with an attack on your turn, you may expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration and add the result to your attack roll. If this causes the attack to hit, it becomes a critical hit. \pagebreakNum ### College of Bravura quirks The following are some optional quirks for a player of this Oath to choose from. | d6 | Quirk | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | When asked to perform, your first instinct is always to sing a sea shanty. | | 2 | You always vault over objects when running, even if there isn't any real need to do so. | | 3 | You consider it a personal failure anytime you're not the best-dressed in a room. | | 4 | Your weapons are always polished to a mirror sheen. | | 5 | You keep a treasure map in your boot pocket. | | 6 | You bow to your audience after winning a fight. | ## Appendix 1: Equipment ##### Buckler A buckler is a small shield, typically made of metal, which is held in the fist rather than strapped to the arm. A buckler only grants a bonus of +1 to its wielder's armor class, but can be donned or doffed with a free object interaction. Bucklers function as shields for purposes of feats and other rules concerning shields, and any character proficient with shields is also proficient with bucklers. \columnbreak ## Change Log #### v{current-version} * Tiny wording change to Nimble Step #### v0.9 * Updated art and license #### v0.2 * Tiny fixes to Bonus Proficiencies, Keen Eye, and Nimble Step #### v0.1 * Rough Draft > ##### Credits & References: > College of Bravura created by [somanyrobots](https://www.somanyrobots.com "somanyrobots.com") > [Discord](https://discord.gg/6p6DqCxTTw "Discord") | [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/somanyrobots "patreon.com/somanyrobots") > ___ > ##### Art > College of Bravura, by [Alifka Hammam Nugroho](https://www.artstation.com/alifkahammamnugroho "Artstation - Alifka Hammam Nugroho") >___ > ##### Background Image Stains > [Jared Ondricek](https://watercolors.giantsoup.com/) > ___ > ##### License > © 2024 somanyrobots, [CC BY-NC 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/) > ___ > ##### 5E SRD Content > * This work includes material taken from the System Reference Document 5.1 (“SRD 5.1”) by Wizards of the Coast LLC, [available here](https://dnd.wizards.com/resources/systems-reference-document "SRD 5.1"). > > * The SRD 5.1 is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License [available here](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode "CC-BY").
