Spinyl (Level 17 Sayaad Bard)

False Identity

You have created a second identity that includes documentation, established acquaintances, and disguises that allow you to assume that persona. Additionally, you can forge documents including official papers and personal letters, as long as you have seen an example of the kind of document or the handwriting you are trying to copy.

Source of Inspiration:

Defiance. You draw inspiration from striking out against oppression, defying long odds, and placing hope in the impossible. You gain inspiration whenever you score a critical hit against a creature larger than you are, roll a natural 20 on a death saving throw, openly defy a powerful being, or succeed after taking a risk with long odds. Examples include loudly refuse the orders of a tyrant, follow through with a convoluted or risky plan, succeed at something you were extremely likely to fail.

Inspiration Feature:

A Nose for Trouble. Get kicked around long enough and you start to know when trouble’s brewing. Whenever you or an ally you can see fails an Insight check, you can use your reaction to spend your inspiration and learn any information that would have been gained by a successful Insight check.

Bardic Inspiration | Font of Inspiration

You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a Bonus Action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can see or hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d12.

Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.

You can use this feature 5 times. You regain any expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Jack of All Trades

You can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn’t already include your proficiency bonus. (+2)

Expertise (Deception, Persuasion & Perception, Stealth)

Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses the chosen proficiencies.

Battle Hymn

You gain the ability to use musical notes or words of power to influence the battlefield in myriad ways. As a Bonus Action, you can start one of the following performances that lasts until the end of your next turn. During that time, you and any friendly creatures within 30 feet of you gain a benefit based on the battle hymn being performed. A creature must be able to hear you to gain this benefit. The performance ends early if you are Incapacitated or Silenced or if you voluntarily end it (no action required).

Mark of the Concubus

You may attempt to drain the essence from a creature who is Charmed, Frightened, or willing. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer 11d10s psychic damage, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken, and you recover 1 use of a short rest resource, such as a bardic inspiration. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a Long Rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Once you have recovered a number of short rest resources equal to your proficiency bonus, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Mark of the Rise

Your flying speed increases by 20 feet. Requires Mark of the Fall, or an innate flying speed.

If the target can see you, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw DC 19 (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) against this magic or be Charmed by you for 1 day. The Charmed target regards you as a trusted friend and obeys your spoken or telepathic commands. Each time the creature takes damage, or it receives a suicidal command, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself as a success. If a target’s saving throw is successful, or if the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to this ability for the next 24 hours. If you can communicate telepathically, you ignore the range restriction on your telepathy when communicating with a creature you have Charmed, and can even communicate across planes.
