College of Revolution
Atop the battlements of a tyrannical ruler, a fire in their eyes and a righteous rage in their voice, their valiant speech ending in the shouts of rebellion. A dark room, overcrowded with worried farmers and angry factory workers, all eyes affixed on the bard in the centre as they detail battle plans and share out weaponry for the coming insurgency.
As a member of the College of Revolution, you understand that the answer to the political struggles of the common peasant will not always come from the system. Sometimes, those very peasants must take matters into their own hands, to create the change they want to see. Sometimes an autocrat or despot, sometimes a thief and liar, sometimes even an ineffective leader — their duty is to the people, and if the people demand better, you are there to ensure that they receive better.
Level3: Fan The Flames
When you join this college at 3rd level, you become skilled at motivating others to stop obeying their masters. You have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to persuade a creature to disobey an order they have been given.
Level 3: Embolden The Masses
Also at 3rd level, you are excellent at inspiring crowds to bite back. When you hit a creature with an attack, you can use your reaction to embolden a number of creatures within 10 feet of you equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). Each chosen creature gains temporary hit points equal to your bard level and can move up to 10 feet towards the target of that attack. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and regains expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
