Bard Buffs:

Song of Motivation

You address your allies to exhort and inspire them to greatness, whether they have anything to get excited about or not. Choose up to twice your Charisma modifier in friendly creatures (which can include yourself) within 30 feet of you who can see or hear you and who can understand you.

Each creature can gain temporary hit points equal to your level + your Charisma modifier, and has advantage on Wisdom saving throws. If an affected creature is hit by an attack, it has advantage on the next attack roll it makes. Once an affected creature loses the temporary hit points granted by this Song, it no longer gains its benefits.

Song of Momentum

Your song is fast-paced and full of energy, causing it to force adrenaline into your allies. You or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance, have their walking speed increased by 5 feet, until they take a Short or a Long Rest.

The extra movement increases when you reach certain levels in this class: to +10 at 9th level, to +15 at 13th level, and to +20 at 17th level.

Song of Protection

Your song imbues the power of protection and preservation. Choose up to twice your Charisma modifier in friendly creatures (which can include yourself) within 30 feet of you who can see or hear you and who can understand you.

When a protected creature is hit by an attack, of which you can see the creature and the attacker, you can expend one Bardic Inspiration as a reaction, provided the protected reature can hear you and is within 60 feet. Roll the Bardic Inspiration die, and add the number rolled to the target's AC against that attack. If the attack still hits, the target reduces the amount of damage they take equal to the number rolled from the Bardic Inspiration.

Song of Rest

Your song is a series of soothing melodies and revitalizing words. If you or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance spend Hit Dice (at least one or more) to regain hit points at the end of a Short Rest, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points per Hit Dice spent.

At 10th level, a creature can expend a Hit Dice to remove a level of Exhaustion when they finish a Short Rest with Song of Rest.

The extra hit points you gain increase when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d8 at 9th level, to 1d10 at 13th level, and to 1d12 at 17th level.

Song of Terror

Your song imbues your allies with furious might and an unwavering menace. Choose up to your Charisma modifier in friendly creatures (which can include yourself) within 30 feet of you who can see or hear you and who can understand you.

When an imbued creature hits with an Attack, they can choose to expend the magic of the song. The target takes extra Psychic Damage equal to your Bardic Inspiration die. It must also make a Wisdom Saving Throw against your Spell save DC or become Frightened of the imbued creature until the end of its next turn.

A creature who uses Song of War can't use it again until the Bard completes another Song of War (obviously), or until they gain Bardic Inspiration, which they can use on Song of War.

Song of Warning

Your song is a cautious tale of fright and danger, bringing wariness to bellow in your allies. You or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance, are unable to be surprised as long as they are conscious, and have advantage on the first Dexterity saving throw they make during the first round of combat. A creature benefits from Song of Warning until they take a Short or Long Rest.

Countercharm

6th-Level Bard feature

---

At 6th level, you gain the ability to use musical notes or words of power to disrupt mind-influencing effects. Whenever you or a creature you can see within 60 feet of you makes a saving throw against being charmed or frightened, you can use your reaction to give that creature advantage on the save.

If the creature does succeed on the saving throw, as part of the same reaction, you can expend one Bardic Inspiration die to force a different creature you can see within 60 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, which DC increases by an amount you roll with the result of the Bardic Inspiration die.

If the save fails, the target is charmed or frightened by you (the failed result of the original effect) for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.

Superior Inspiration

20th-Level Bard feature

Something something, grants bardic inspirations to up to Cha mod in creatures within 60 feet of you as a bonus action whenver you use bardic inspiration. It's a 20th level feature man.
