Bard College
College of Culinary
A Warrior banging his sword, A scholar humming a melody, or the clicks and clatter of a chef rhythmically preparing a meal. Bards focus on discovering the hidden magic behind their talents and the College of Culinary is no different. Students of the College of Culinary study and research the Hidden magic of finer cuisine.
The world has a lot to offer and each culture has its own taste. Culinary bards will often explore the world, discovering new flavours, techniques and combinations to help master their crafts.
Culinary Arts
3rd-level College of Culinary feature
You gain expertise with cook’s utensils and they can be used as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
Additionally, after you finish a long rest, you can create a rejuvenating meal for your companions using your Cook’s utensils. You can create a meal for up to 8 people, anyone who eats this meal loses an additional point of exhaustion.
Just the Appetiser
3rd-level College of Culinary feature
Using your cook’s utensils and an action, you can expend any number of Bardic Inspiration uses to create small, bite sized appetisers. For every use of Bardic Inspiration expended, you create two appetisers. These appetisers appear in your hand and last 8 hours. A creature can use its bonus action to eat one appetiser. When you create an appetiser, you choose its flavour from the following;
Savoury. The rich, savoury flavour of this appetiser satisfies even the deepest cravings. When consumed, roll your Bardic Inspiration die, the creature is healed by the amount rolled.
Spicy. The hot and spicy flavour of this appetiser rouses the senses. When consumed, the creature can add a roll of your Bardic Inspiration die to their next initiative roll. This effect last 1 hour or until used.
Sweet. The sweet and sugary flavour of this appetiser excites and stimulates. When consumed, the creature's speed increases by 10ft for 1-minute. You cannot consume another sweet appetiser until the effects of the previous one has worn off.
The appetisers are tiny and almost weightless. As a bonus action, you can throw one appetiser, which is on your person, to a creature you see within 30ft of you. The appetiser lands safely into their pocket or pack.
The maximum number of appetisers you can have at one time is equal to twice your Charisma modifier, creating any more will cause the oldest appetisers to disappear.
