The all new College of Adventure brings the Bard into a new light and enhances their capacities as a support character with the encouraging words class feature that allows your bard to spend their reaction to make an insight check against the AC or DC that their ally is attempting to meet and grant them a bonus to their attack roll, saving throw, or ability check. Additionally, they gain the ability to spend their reaction enhancing the damage or healing of another and gain an additional cantrip from any class’s spell list through a series feature known as Cross Training. Next the College of Adventure Bard gets to reactively cast vicious mockery when certain conditions are met, gains an additional spell from any class’s spell list as their cross training pays off, and has the option of spending their short rest granting a limited form of inspiration to others. Then we finish off with a capstone that allows the College of Adventure Bard to double the number of attacks that the target of their reactive discouragement has to make at disadvantage.
