Bardic Inspiration
1st, 5th, 9th, and 14th-Level Bard Feature
You can inspire others through stirring words, music, or other kinds of performance. As a bonus action on your turn, you can choose a creature within 60 feet of you, other than yourself, who can hear or see you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll that die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or save that it makes. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your CHA modifier. You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, d10 at 9th, and d12 at 14th.
BARDIC PERFORMANCE
2nd and 6th-Level Bard Feature
…
Bardic Performance: Celebrate Life
At 2nd level, while your Bardic Performance feature is active, allies within range can choose to expend one of their hit dice at the start of their turn. When they do so, they roll the expended die and recover a number of hit points equal to the number rolled + your CHA modifier.
In addition, allies within range have advantage on death saves, though they don’t need to see or hear you to receive this benefit.
HEROIC BOON
10th-Level Bard Feature
…
- Valiant Inspiration. When a creature with one of your Bardic Inspiration dice successfully deals damage with an attack, the creature can expend and roll the die to deal extra damage equal to the number rolled. The extra damage is of the same type as that of the triggering attack (though the attacker chooses which type if there are more than one). Alternatively, when a creature with one of your Bardic Inspiration dice takes damage, the creature can use its reaction to expend and roll the die to reduce the amount of damage taken by an amount equal to the number rolled + your CHA modifier.
