College of the Thespian[edit]
Bard Subclass
Some bards might find themselves caught up in their stories and roles that they embody aspects of them. College of the Thespian bards, whether through the likes of comedy or tragedy, enthrall their audiences with their performances.
Features[edit]
Prop Work[edit]
Starting at 3rd level, you can take an action to touch any non-magical, tiny object or trinket and make it into your spellcasting focus.
When you make an object into your spellcasting focus this way, within a fifty foot radius of you, you can move it around as if using the Telekinesis spell on it, and make it magically appear in your hand.
Dramatic Aspects[edit]
At the end of a long rest, you can imbue yourself with a dramatic aspect. This aspect lasts until a long rest.
Aspect of Comedy. After you make an attack roll, you can choose to roll a bardic inspiration die and add it to the result. After you hit an opponent this way, for one turn, they have a minus five penalty on attack rolls against you for one turn.
Aspect of Tragedy. After you make an attack roll, you can choose to roll a bardic inspiration die and add it to the result. After you hit an opponent this way, their movement is reduced by ten feet for one turn.
Aspect of the Satyr. After you make an attack roll, you can choose to roll a bardic inspiration die and add it to the result. After you hit an opponent this way, you gain the benefits of the disengage action for one turn.
Stage Presence[edit]
Beginning at 6th level, each dramatic aspect gains additional benefits.
Aspect of Comedy. As an action, you can roll a bardic inspiration die, and choose a number of creatures equal to the result within a fifty foot radius of you.

This condition ends if the creature takes damage.

Once per long rest, as a bonus action, all creatures of your choice in a fifty foot radius of you gain hit points equal to four times the maximum value of your bardic inspiration die, remove the prone condition from themselves if they have it, and gain an additional twenty feet of movement.
