Bard: College of Romance
B
ards almost always get a reputation for being
oversexual, and whether genuine or not, very
romantic. These bards take their romance to a
whole new level, the ins and outs of romancing
a potential partner. Some of these bards follow
this path because they can't deny that they are
simply a hopeless romantic. Then there are
some who study this college in order to better manipulate the
people around them.
The College of Romance teaches its students how to
properly lean into their charisma, and that outer beauty is
only one part of the complicated process of romance and
seduction.
Take this subclass if you want your bard to be the best they
can be at using roleplay and charisma to get what they want.
Avoid this subclass if you're looking for a bard that focuses on
combat.
Eye of the Beholder
At 3rd level you gain proficiency in the Deception and
Persuasion, and receive a +2 bonus to these skills. If you
already have proficiency in any of these skills, you can double
your proficiency bonus for those skill checks.
Cupid's Guidance
Also at 3rd level you can grant your allies a bonus to their
Charisma based skill check as a reaction equal to your
proficiency bonus, as long as you are within 30 feet of them.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum 1), and require a long rest to
reuse this feature.
Smooth Criminal (Optional)
This 3rd level feature replaces the Eye of the Beholder
feature. You have learned how to use your charm to assist you
in your criminal activities. You gain a bonus to your
Deception, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth skills equal to your
Charisma modifier.
Hopeless Romantic
At 6th level, you're driven by romance. Anytime that you or an
ally within 10 feet of you fails a Charisma based skill check or
saving throw, the check or save can be rerolled but the new
result must be used even if it's lower than the first.
Infatuating Dance (Optional)
This 6th level feature replaces the Hopeless Romantic
feature. You may use your Action to make a Performance
(Dance) check, and force one humanoid within 30 feet who
can see you to make a Charisma saving throw against your
Performance check. A creature who fails this saving throw
becomes charmed by you for 1 hour.
A creature who succeeds on this saving throw becomes
immune to the effect of your Infatuating Dance for 24 hours.
Heartbreaker
Also at 6th level, you have gained the ability to make your
words cut deeper than most. You learn the Vicious Mockery
cantrip if you don't already know it. In addition, when you use
the Vicious Mockery cantrip, you deal 2d4 damage instead of
the usual 1d4.
This spell’s damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 9th
level (3d4), and 13th level (4d4), and 17th level (4d4).
Love Rose
At 14th level, you learn the secrets of how to grow Love
Roses. When a creature holds a Love Rose, they have
advantage on Charisma based skill checks and saving throws.
The rose also gives off a soothing aroma, making anyone
within 5 feet of the rose immune to charm effects. This rose
doesn't need to be equipped to gain its effects.
You can create a number of Love Roses equal to your
Charisma modifier. You can speak a command word as an
action to destroy any Love Roses that you have created. If the
number of Love Roses created exceeds your Charisma
modifier, all of your previously created roses are destroyed.

C
lerics who take on the Love Domain typically
follow good-natured gods who spread peace, joy,
and above all: love. Many Love Domain Clerics
pursue religous career paths and are frequently
found to be performing weddings and all sorts of
family celebrations.
You have focused your priestly duties to becoming a
champion of love. You protect the concept of true love,
and do everything in your power to preserve love between
people. Whether you use love to curse people into
becoming heartbroken, or you use it to bless people with
joyful lives, love makes you one of the world's most
dangerous forces.
Love Hurts
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the
Friends cantrip if you don't already know it. This cantrip
doesn’t count against the number of cleric cantrips you know.
Additionally, you can cast this spell at a range of touch.
However, any creature you cast Friends on (excluding
yourself), receives an amount of Psychic damage equal to
your Proficiency Bonus when the spell ends.
Romanticism
Also at 1st level, you naturally generate an aura of divine love.
This functions as the Sanctuary spell with the following
changes:

the first time after taking a long rest.
The aura regenerates after successfully completing a long
rest.

You can select a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom
modifier that you can see within 60 feet and target them as a

long rest.

Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC. A creature
that fails its saving throw becomes infatuated with a creature
within 60 feet of it of your choice, gaining the Charmed

A creature can repeat its saving throw at the start of its

Starting at 8th level, your strikes can leave your enemies
feeling brokenhearted. When you hit a creature with a melee
weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal Psychic

The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for
each Spell Level higher than 1st.
Soul Bond
Starting at 17th level, you can use your action to create a
lifelong bond between at least two people. You can cast the

partner, they receive the following benefits.
They receive a +1 bonus to all skill checks.

devotion to the reverence and worship of passion and love.
These Druids learn to channel one of the strongest emotions
into your strikes, charm others with their elegance, and
change shape into a beautiful Winged Unicorn!
Hold Hands
At 2nd level, you can strengthen the defenses of yourself and
your allies by staying in physical contact. You and an ally may
choose to hold hands as a bonus action, granting you both a
bonus to your AC and saving throws by an amount equal to

Dexterity saving throws are made with disadvantage.
You may choose to use both of your hands to grant this
bonus to two allies, but you cannot gain the bonuses to your
AC and saving throws more than once.
Passionate Strike
Also at 2nd level, you learn how to poor your passionate fury
into your attacks. When you damage a creature with a

and a flying speed of 90 feet.
Warlock: the Cherub
These Warlocks choose to make a pact with a cellestial being
called a cherub, who grants them special powers of
infatuation. This being's motivations are often benevolent,
though some may use their control over love to cause chaos
and spread pain wherever they go. Cherubs are tiny, yet
powerful beings of celestial magic, capable of forcing people
to fall in love, which gives them great influence over anyone
in their vicinity.
Elevating Blast
Starting at 1st level, you learn the Eldritch Blast cantrip. You
may choose another Warlock cantrip if you already know how
to cast Eldritch Blast. Additionally, any time that you cast the

proficiency bonus on the next saving throw that they make
within 1 minute.

how to lower the defenses of your enemies by charming them
with your smile. You may expend a spell slot as an Action,

AC at 6th level, -3 AC at 12th level, and -4 AC at 18th level.
Charming Demeanor
By 6th level, your charisma can give you an edge in combat,

presense. You may add your Charisma modifier to your
initiative checks.
Also, any creature within 30 feet of you who can see you at
the start of combat must make a Wisdom saving throw
against your spell save DC. A creature that fails this saving
throw is surprised during the first round of combat.
Trustworthy
Beginning at 10th level, you have a way with words which
tends to make others naturally trust you. You have advantage
on Charisma skill checks made against creatures who are not
hostile towards you or engaged in combat. Insight checks
made to determine your true intentions are also made with
disadvantage.

touch. You may cast the Power Word Kill without using a
spell slot, with the following changes:
