Overview & Creation

Bards of the College Of Emo believe that the only way to truly use their magic abilities is through music as depressing and violent as possible. Able to amplify a simple lute into an almost metallic sound, bards who attend this college are able to take their negative emotions and turn them into something useful, instead of just wasting away in their own self loathing and self pity.   Humans are unfortunately unable to attend this college, and thus have to deal with their emotions.

Class Features

Can You Feel My Heart

3rd Level College of Emo feature   At 3rd level, You learn how to use pain that you personally feel to make others feel pain too. Once per day, when you take damage, you can use your reaction to cause the creature who damaged you to make a Charisma Saving Throw with your Spell Save DC. They take damage equal to 1d4 times your Bard Level + your charisma modifier as Psychic damage or Necrotic damage (you choose) on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. You regain this ability after a long rest. At 6th level, you can regain this ability after a short rest.

Mother Tongue

3rd Level College of Emo feature   Also at 3rd level, you learn the language Undercommon, and get proficiency in Deception and Sleight Of Hand. If you already have proficiency with these skills due to the starting skills for Bard, you can either choose to gain expertise in them, or choose two other skills.  

The Sadness Will Never End

6th Level College of Emo feature   At 6th Level, you learn how to make everyone feel sad by the way of depressing music. You can use your Action to start a performance, and any creature within 60ft who can hear you has to make a Charisma Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC. If they are friendly to you, they do so with advantage, and the DC is 2 lower. If they succeed, they are unaffected. If they fail, they are de-motivated. Until the effect ends, they must roll a Charisma Saving Throw when they make an attack. If they fail, the attack fails. The creature can make a Charisma Saving Throw at the end of its turn, and if it passes, the effect ends.  

Go To Hell, For Heaven's Sake

14th Level College of Emo feature   At 14th Level, you can make others feel like they've messed up everything they have ever done, and deserve to be damned for it. You can use your Action to target one creature you can see. They must make a Charisma Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC. On a fail, they spend the next 1d6 turns in a mental state of hell, and take 4d6 damage at the start of their turn. They cannot regain hit points while in this state, and any Necrotic damage dealt while in this state gains an additional damage dice. On a success, they spend half the number of turns (rounded down, minimum of 1.)
