Versatile Entertainer
3rd-level College of Jest feature
When you join the College of Jest at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with one skill and one tool of your choice. You
also learn one additional bard cantrip of your choice. This
cantrip doesn’t count against the number of bard cantrips you
know.
Inspired Acuity
3rd-level College of Jest feature
Your knowledge of magical secrets can bolster the spells of
your allies. When a creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die
from you casts a spell, they can roll that die and add the
number rolled to the spell save DC of that spell.
Quick Wit
6th-level College of Jest feature
When you fail a Charisma save, you can use a reaction to
reroll and take the higher result. You can do this a number of
times equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
Droll Performance
6th-level College of Jest feature
At 6th level, your jovial nature has taught you that the best
way to handle a situation is with laughter. You learn the
“Tasha’s Hideous Laughter” spell. This spell doesn’t count
against your number of spells known.
Additionally, you can cast this spell without expending a
spell slot a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus
and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Improvised Adaptation
14th-level College of Jest feature
When a creature affected by a single target spell that you are
concentrating on saves against the spell's DC, you can use
your reaction to cause another creature within range of the
spell to make a saving throw or be affected by the spell for the
remaining duration.
Once you have used this feature you cannot do so again
until a short or long rest.
