Bard: Bardic College: College of Sorrow

Bards of the College of Sorrow channel the weight of melancholy and lost memories, weaving a profound sadness. Their performance and presence evoke nostalgia and despair, leaving audiences either moved or subdued.

College of Sorrow Features

Wistful Echoes

When you join the college of sorrow at 3rd level, your bardic performance carries wistful echoes.

When a creature under the effect of your bardic performance uses your bardic performance die to change the outcome of an attack roll into a success, the creature hit by that attack also gains disadvantage on its next attack roll before the end of its next turn.

Sorrow’s Bargain

Beginning at 6th level, whenever a creature under the effect of your ‘bardic performance’ expends its bardic performance dice to change the outcome of an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, the target can choose to take psychic damage equal to the twice number rolled on the dice. When a creature takes this damage, it also retains the bardic performance dice extending the effect of your bardic performance for that creature.

Overcoming Grief

At 18th level, you learn the channel healing spell, and you can cast this spell once between short or long rests without expending a spell slot. When you cast this spell, you also end all effects that cause a target creature to be charmed, confused, dazed, frightened, or stunned.
