Battle Chant

As a bonus action, you can expend a bardic performance die to bolster allies within 60 feet of you. Roll you bardic performance dice. Each creature of your choice within range gains a number of temporary hit points equal to the number rolled.

Whenever another creature is reduced to 0 hit points within 30 feet of you, you can use this ability on your next turn without expending the bardic performance die.

Battle Hymn

Beginning at 10th level, you can expend a bardic performance dice as a reaction when a friendly creature that has temporary hit points takes damage. Roll the bardic performance dice and subtract the roll from the damage the triggering creature takes. When you use this reaction, the triggering creature can also use its reaction to make a melee attack against the creature that dealt damage to it.
