Poetic Beat

Whenever you use your ‘bardic performance’, one creature of your choice can immediately use its reaction to make a melee or ranged attack against another creature within its reach or range.

Ode of Inspiration

Beginning at 10th level, you can cast one of your bard spells as a bonus action once between long rests. The spell gains a special bonus depending on its spell list:

•          Ode to Divinity. If the spell is on the divine spell list, you can also restore a number of hit points equal to your bard level to all creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you.

•          Ode to Magic. If the spell is on the arcane spell list, you can cast this spell without expending a spell slot.

•          Ode to Nature. If the spell is on the primal spell list, one creature of your choice within 60 feet also gains resistance to one of the following damage types for 1 minute: acid, cold, fire, lightning, thunder, or poison.

Elegy of Weakness

Beginning at 14th level, you can expend a bardic performance dice to target a creature within 60 feet that can hear you. The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the target becomes weakened and it adds your bardic performance dice to all damage it takes until the end of your next turn.

You can use this ability once between short or long rests.
