Scholars and spies, heroes and hunters: whether wooing an admirer in the bright sunlight or stalking prey under the gentle rays of the moon, bards of the College of the Cat excel at diverse skills and exhibit contrary tendencies. The adventurous spirits who favor the College of the Cat let their curiosity and natural talents get them into impossible places. Most are skilled, cunning, and vicious enough to extricate themselves from even the most dangerous situations.

Bonus Proficiencies 

3rd-Level The Cat Feature 

You gain proficiency with the Acrobatics and Stealth skills and with thieves tools if you dont already have them. In addition, if youre proficient with a simple or martial melee weapon, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.

Inspired Pounce 

3rd-Level The Cat Feature 

You learn to stalk unsuspecting foes engaged in combat with your allies. When an ally you can see uses one of your Bardic Inspiration dice on a weapon attack roll against a creature, you can use your reaction to move up to half your speed and make one melee weapon attack against that creature. You gain a bonus on your attack roll equal to the result of the spent Bardic Inspiration die. 

When you reach 7th level in this class, you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed, and when you use Inspired Pounce, you can move up to your speed as part of the reaction. Inspired pounce can also now be part of the same reaction granted by font of inspiration if its used to add to an attack roll. 

Expanded Talent List 

3rd-Level The Cat Feature 

When your bard level grants you the Improvement feature and you choose to gain a new talent, you can select it from either the martial or the technical talents list (see Talents in Chapter 4).

My Claws Are Sharp 

7th-Level The Cat Feature 

You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. In addition, when you use two-weapon fighting to make an attack as a bonus action, you can give a Bardic Inspiration die to a friendly creature within 60 feet of you or maintain your Bardic performance as part of that same bonus action.

Feline Grace 

11th-Level The Cat Feature 

While your Bardic Performance is active, you have Advantage on Dexterity saves and +10 to your Movement.

Catlike Tread 

15th-Level The Cat Feature 

While a creature has one of your Bardic Inspiration dice, it has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. When you have no uses of Bardic Inspiration left, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
