Former Child Actor

Updated November 1, 2026

SYSTEM NOTE: FORMER CHILD ACTOR

You peaked at seven and you have been playing roles ever since. Detective, action lead, heartbreaker: you can be anyone except yourself. Please stop telling the monsters you used to be famous. They do not have television.

Parent class: Bard
Feature levels: 3, 6, 14

Features

Level 3 — Character Actor

Gain disguise-kit proficiency. After each Long Rest, choose a role: Action Lead grants Athletics proficiency; Detective grants Investigation proficiency; Heartbreaker grants Persuasion proficiency. If already proficient in that role’s skill, gain Expertise in it for the role’s duration instead.

Level 3 — Supporting Performance

When you give Bardic Inspiration, its recipient gains Temporary HP equal to your Charisma modifier, minimum 1.

Level 6 — Quick Change

Once per Short or Long Rest, change your role as a Bonus Action. You also have Advantage on saves against the Poisoned condition.

Level 14 — Comeback

When reduced to 0 HP without being killed outright, expend one Bardic Inspiration use as a Reaction to drop to 1 HP instead. Once per Long Rest.

Notes

A role grants only its listed benefit, never another complete subclass.
