Theatre of the Mind
Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to create semi-
substantial, invisible constructs out of thin air.
As a bonus action, you can expend a use of your Bardic
Inspiration to create an invisible object, piece of ammunition,
shield, tool, or weapon. This construct exists for 1 minute or
until you are more than 120 feet away from it.
Ammunition. You create a single piece of ammunition for a
ranged weapon you are carrying. When you make an attack
with this piece of ammunition, roll the Bardic Inspiration die
expended to use this feature, adding the number rolled to
your attack roll. The attack deals force damage instead of the
usual damage for the weapon. The ammunition vanishes
once it hits a target.
Object. A created object is usually a piece of adventuring
gear (such as a rope) or a moderately sized obstruction (such
as a door). The object cannot be magical or consumable, and
if you create a container, it is created empty. An object placed
in a container created this way is still visible while inside it. A
creature can move through the object by succeeding on a
Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC.
Shield. You create an invisible shield granting you a +2
bonus to your AC. You can still cast the somatic components
of a spell while holding this shield.
Tool. You create a set of tools (such as artisan's tools or
thieves' tools) with which you are proficient. The first time
you make an ability check using this tool, you can roll the
Bardic Inspiration die expended to use this feature, adding
the number rolled to your ability check.
Weapon. You create a finesse weapon of your choice in
your hand. The first time you make an attack roll using this
weapon, you can roll the Bardic Inspiration die expended to
use this feature, adding the number rolled to your d20 roll.
The weapon deals force damage instead of its usual damage
type on a hit.
