A Grandiloquent[edit]
A Grandiloquent is someone's way of using complicated language to attract admiration and attention, especially to make someone or something seem important. The Grandiloquent is a hydrid of a bard and a sorcerer, here we are going to play with character interpretation because as he mentions the words of power certain new things can happen, and the opposite also happens.
Introduction Leader[edit]
Avoid this class if you're not the type of person who likes a lot of roleplaying. Playing this class your words of power are what they really are: POWERFUL. The idea here is to use certain words in the middle of your adventure that trigger random events, with the same idea of the sorcerer wild magic table. It is always up to the GM to decide which ones will be taken into account for different events. And I will also leave at the end of the class description a table with several possibilities of words that could be used to increment your class. They were used for both attacking, skill checks, and saving throws. Choosing many languages for your character to speak is an interesting thing to do. Imagine a situation where you and your team are in an argument with some villain that only you understand, your skill in diplomacy could save you or make your situation much worse. Let's suppose you made everything worse, in combat you could use your Cloud of Daggers with a word of thundering power and the daggers, when in contact with the targets, cause flashes of lightning in an area beyond the normal 1.5 meters of this spell, which blinded the vision momentarily that way your rogue friend could deal a critical hit (as long as he hits). You could also use your healing spells with another word of light power that increases the healing radius, or causes the spell to heal you for 1d4 hit points.
In addition to the table, for reasons of your creativity and your GM's agreement, you could with some magic item that you eventually find (or not), your words of power create even more powerful secondary effects. Now with no more further ado, let's start creating your Grandiloquo.
