# Bard College: Noise Marine The Emperor’s Children attack in a riotous clash of excruciating aural assaults, eye-watering chromatic dissonance and ostentatious precision to leave their foes in no doubt of their superiority. Their arrogance is matched by a listless ennui at the galaxy’s everyday stimuli, and they seek to commit ever viler deeds to draw the eye of their patron deity, Slaanesh. ### Bonus Proficiencies When you join this College at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor and firearms. ### Excruciating Frequencies *The sons of Fulgrim were the first to use sonic weaponry, and are peerless wielders of deadly sound waves.* Starting at 3rd level, you know every spell that deals thunder damage. Additionally, when you cast a spell that deals thunder damage using a spell slot, you can expand one use of your Bardic inspiration. If you do, the spell is cast one level higher than that spell slot. You can do this once, and you can do so again after you finish a long rest. Starting at 5th level, you can do so again after you finish a short rest. ### Unbound Arrogance *Contempt for lesser warriors drives the Emperor’s Children in their punishing reprisals.* Starting at 6th level, you get a bonus to attack rolls, ability checks and saving throws against creatures with a CR lower than your level. The bonus is equal to half your PB, rounded down. ### Death Ecstasy *Death is but another thrilling experience, and the Emperor’s Children are loathe to deny the enemy such vistas of ecstatic sensation.* Additionally, starting at level 6th, when your hp are reduced to 0, you can use your reaction to not fall unconscious. If you do, play an entire turn just after this one. You fall unconscious at the end of that turn. You can do this PB times, and you regain expanded uses after you finish a long rest. ### Flawless Perfection *Since their foundation, the Emperor’s Children have sought to master every art of warfare. Each new war zone is treated as a gruesome canvas, one to be adorned with the most varied expressions of the Legions innate superiority.* Starting at 14th level, whenever you make an attack with a weapon you're proficient with, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower on the attack roll as a 10.
