Bards who align with the college of Lore value knowledge most highly. Many from this college are preoccupied with preserving ancient rituals, folklore, and stories—or recovering such things that were lost. These bards glean wisdom from all manner of cultures and sources, allowing them to utilize their magic and talents in novel ways.

# Bardic Performance: Ode to Heroes 
_3rd-Level Lore Feature_ 
You invoke songs and stories of legend to inspire your allies to new heights of heroism and to intimidate your foes. When you use your Bardic Performance feature, choose **STR**, **DEX**, **CON**, **INT**, **WIS**, or CHA. While your performance lasts, allies within range have advantage on ability checks that use that ability and enemies within range have disadvantage on ability checks that use that ability.
# Expanded Talent List
_3rd-Level Lore Feature_ 
When you gain a new talent, you can select it from either the magic or the technical talents list (see Talents in Chapter 4).
# Jack of All Trades
_3rd-Level Lore Feature_ 
You make it your business to collect lessons and practical guidance from the stories, songs, and cultures you encounter. You can add half your **PB**, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesnt already include your **PB**.
# Swift Ritual
_7th-Level Lore Feature_ 
You can cast an Arcane ritual you know as an action, instead of using the rituals listed casting time. You must still provide all other components necessary for the casting. Once used, you cant use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
# Magical Rites
_11th-Level Lore Feature_ 
You learn two ritual spells of your choice from any source list. Each spell you choose must be of a circle for which you have spell slots, as shown in the Bard Progression table. The chosen rituals count as Arcane spells for you and arent included in the number in the Rituals Known column of the Bard Progression table.
# Peerless Skill
_15th-Level Lore Feature_ 
When you make an ability check and have at least one use of your Bardic Inspiration feature available, you can use it to roll a Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to your ability check. If you succeed on the check, you get to keep the Bardic Inspiration die, but if you fail the check, the die is expended.
