Bardo

Existem algumas grandes organizações de bardos em Cerilia :

• Brechtur: Explorers Society.
• Khinasi: The Song Library.

Skalds são mais comuns entre os rjurik.

Os bardos desta escola são encontrados somente entre os elfos, eles dizem que esta é a escola original dos bardos que serviam de diplomatas nos primeiros anos de contato com os humanos. Alguns shifter (capri) porém também seguem esta escola. Aparentemente existe alguma espécie de acordo entre as duas raças.

Este tipo de escola parece ter se iniciado entre os khinasi, mas atualmente se espalhou tambem entre os anuire e os brechtur. Estes bardos parecem não ter uma organização centralizada.

Os bardos afiliados a esta escola mantém segredo em relação a isso. O centro da organização fica em Brechtur, conhecido como Eternity Club. Porém suas células estão espalhadas por todo o continente.

Words of Terror (Replace) - You learn the "Cause Fear" spell if you don't know it, it does not count against the number of your known spells. You can cast this spell without spending a spell slot up to a number of times equal to your Prof. Bonus. You regain any expended uses of this ability after completing a long rest. Also when you cast it, you may expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to improve your spell. Roll your Bardic Inspiration dice and adds its result to your spell DC for this casting of the spell.

Mind Probe (Variant 6th) - At 6th level, your ability to gather information and lore gains a supernatural edge. You can cast detect thoughts without spending a spell slot up to a number of times equal to your Prof. Bonus. You regain any expended uses of this ability after completing a long rest.

Shadows of the Dead (Variant 6th) - When a humanoid dies within 30 feet of you, you can magically capture its shadow using your reaction. When you do so, it magically manifest in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This shadow is a magical, translucent, gray image of the dead creature that lasts for an hour, or until it is destroyed, you dismiss it as a bonus action, you manifest another shadow, or until you're incapacitated or finish a short or long rest. The shadow is ethereal and immune to all conditions. It is the same size as the deceased, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the shadow to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required). If the shadow is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed. If attacked by any means that could inflict damage upon an ethereal creature, it is destroyed. The shadow gives you the following abilities:

• During your turn you can teleport, magically swapping places with the shadow at a cost of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you, as long as you can see the shadow.
• You can cast spells as though you were in the shadow's space, but you must use your own senses.

Conhecidos por sua extravagância e suas loucuras, os bobos possuem uma posição privilegiada em muitas cortes, eles são os únicos que se atrevem a criticar seus governantes abertamente, e normalmente ne frente dos próprios. Os bobos são encontrados principalmente entre a nobreza de Anuire, mas alguns podem ser encontrados também em outras regiões. As cortes Khinasi geralmente acham desrepeitoso o comportamento dos bobos, os Vos tratam os bobos como loucos que devem ser deixados em paz.

• Tumbling Fool - At 3rd level, you master a variety of acrobatic techniques that allow you to evade danger. As a bonus action, you can tumble. When you tumble, you gain the following benefits :
  • You gain the benefits of the Disengage action and may move up to 10 feet.
  • You gain a climbing speed equal to your current speed and take half damage from falling until the start of your next turn.
• Injurious Mockery - At 3th level, your wit has become as sharp as a rapier, and twice as quick. You learn the vicious mockery cantrip.

• Crawling Dodge - Starting at 6th level, whenever you are 5ft near a friendly creature, when an enemy tries to attacks you, you can use your reaction to move around and hide behind your ally, causing the enemy to have disadvantage to hit you.
• Fool's Luck - Jesters seem to have a knack for pulling themselves out of tight situations, transforming what looks like sure failure into an embarrassing but effective success. At 14th level, you can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration after you fail an ability check, a saving throw, or miss with an attack roll. Roll a Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to your attack, saving throw, or ability check, using the new result in place of the failed one.

Bardos desta escola concentram seus esforços criativos na palavra escrita e falada ao invés da música. Este tipo de arte é mais valorizado entre as classes nobres e intelectuais. Os bardos desta escola são encontrados entre os Anuire, Brechtur e Khinasi.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot to use it again.

You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
