Song Bard

Updated November 1, 2026

SYSTEM NOTE: SONG BARD

The simplest, most supportive bard in the dungeon. You sing, people get better, and nobody has to watch you do anything weird. The System appreciates your restraint. The audience finds it suspicious.

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

Features

Level 3 — Carry the Melody

Gain proficiency with one musical instrument. When another creature uses your Bardic Inspiration die and succeeds on the affected D20 Test, it gains Temporary HP equal to the number rolled on that die.

Level 6 — Restorative Refrain

Once per Short Rest, when you and allies finish that rest, up to six creatures who heard your performance and spent at least one Hit Die regain additional HP equal to one roll of your Bardic Inspiration die. This expends no Bardic Inspiration use.

Level 14 — Shared Chorus

Once per Long Rest, when you give Bardic Inspiration, give a second eligible creature a die without expending an additional use. Both dice follow the normal rules.

Notes

This is the simplest support-focused Bard option in the collection.
