3rd-level College of Forgotten Echoes feature

When a creature within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to reduce the damage the creature takes by an amount equal to the number rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die + your Charisma modifier.

In addition, you can spend a use of your Bardic Inspiration to return an awakened spiritfont to its dormant state. Make a Charisma (Performance) check opposed by the spiritfont’s Intensity saving throw. If you succeed, the spiritfont is made dormant for a number of hours equal to your proficiency bonus.

3rd-level College of Forgotten Echoes feature

The spirits can soothe those around you; you know calm emotions. It doesn’t count against the number of bard spells you know.

You can rouse the echoes of the past. By spending 1 minute performing, you reveal shadows from the past. You can have them relate to you something from the recent or distant past or reveal a secret within the vicinity.

The echoes are always truthful, but often cryptic. Visions of the past may be portrayed by indistinct shadowy figures or might only reveal one clear aspect (such as a red scarf or the pattern on an urn). When revealing a secret, the echoes will guide you to the proper location through mysterious means such as disembodied whispers or shades of actions past.

Once you have used this feature you can’t use again until you finish a long rest.

6th-level College of Forgotten Echoes feature

When you cast a bard spell you know using a spell slot of 5th level or less, the echoes of its power linger within you. Within the next minute, you can cast another bard spell you know without expending a spell slot and without requiring spell components. This spell must be cast at a lower level than the spell which triggered this feature and can’t require material components consumed by the spell. The spell is psionic and has the gesture, psychic, and visual (glow) detections.

Once you use this feature, you can use it again until you finish a long rest.

14th-level College of Forgotten Echoes feature

As an action, you can muster the echoes to haunt a creature you can see within 60 feet of you by spending a Bardic Inspiration die. Whenever a creature must make a saving throw against this feature, you use your spell save DC.

The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or become unsettled for 1 hour. On each of your turns, you can take a special action to further afflict a target unsettled by this feature that you can see. You can choose one of the options below each time you take this action, but can only take this action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus within the hour. If the creature is no longer unsettled, it is no longer affected, nor can be targeted, by these afflictions.

• Grief. The creature is overcome with an uncontrollable urge to lament a great sorrow contained within the echoes and must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or drop to the ground and wail, becoming prone and incapacitated for 1 minute or until it takes damage.
• Pain. The creature experiences the pain trapped within the memories of the echoes and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become stunned until the start of your next turn.
• Terror. The creature sees you as a terrifying creature from the memories of the echoes and must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you for 1 minute. The creature makes a new Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the condition on a success.
• Trauma. The creature is forced to relive a traumatic memory contained in the echoes and must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks for 1 minute.

So long as the creature is unsettled, you know generally where it is as long as it remains on the same plane of existence, and can freely target it with a divination spell or clairsentience power or similar effect as approved by the DM.

Only one creature can be affected by your Haunting Echoes feature at a time. If you use it again, all of its effects immediately end on the previous target.
