Welcome
College of Lore in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
College of Lore
Bards of the College of Lore plumb the depths of magical knowledge, collecting spells and secrets from sources as diverse as scholarly tomes, mystical rites, and peasant tales. The college’s members gather in libraries and universities to share their lore with one another. They also meet at festivals or affairs of state, where they can expose corruption, unravel lies, and poke fun at self-important figures of authority.

3RD LEVEL: BONUS PROFICIENCIES
You gain proficiency with three skills of your choice.3RD LEVEL: CUTTING WORDS
You learn how to use your wit to supernaturally distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes a damage roll or succeeds on an ability check or attack roll, you can use your Reaction to expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration, roll your Bardic Inspiration die, and subtract the number rolled from the creature’s roll, reducing the damage or potentially turning the success into a failure.6TH LEVEL: MAGICAL DISCOVERIES
You learn two spells of your choice. These spells can come from the Arcane, Divine, or Primal spell list or any combination thereof. A spell you choose must be a cantrip or a spell for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Bard table. You always have the chosen spells prepared, and whenever you gain a Bard level, you can replace one of the spells with another spell that meets the requirements above.14TH LEVEL: PEERLESS SKILL
When you make an ability check or attack roll and fail, you can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration, roll the Bardic Inspiration die, and add the number rolled to the d20, potentially turning a failure into a success. On a failure, the Bardic Inspiration isn’t expended.World Anvil: The Ultimate Worldbuilding Toolset & RPG Campaign Manager
