This is a work in progress.
This is a Bard subclass for 5A.
Formally The College of Domains , domain bards focus on a spiritual domain.
Subclass Features
Domain
At 3rd level, you select a cleric domain appropriate to your faith. You gain abilities based on this domain.
- At 3rd level when you select your domain, you gain the 1st level ability of that domain.
- At 6th level, you gain the level 6th level ability of your chosen domain.
- At 14th level, you can spend one use of Bardic Inspiration to use your domain's Channel Divinity ability.
When a domain feature mentions your cleric level, use your bard level instead. When a domain feature mentions heavy armor, replace that mention by medium armor. When a domain feature mentions your Wisdom ability bonus, use your Charisma ability bonus instead. When a domain feature allows a saving throw, use your spell saving throw DC. You never get the level 8 and level 17 domain features.
Domain Spells
Each domain has a list of spells-its domain spells that you gain at the bard levels noted in the domain description, except that you gain both the 1st and 3rd level domain spells when you join this college at 3rd level. Domain spells are known spells to you but don't count against your limit on known spells. If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the bard spell list, the spell is nonetheless a bard spell for you.
Designer's Notes
Moved from Chanter to allow that subclass to be re-developed. A divine magic variant of the bard that uses cleric domains. The most important ability is domain spells added to added known spells. The domain abilities are a so-so fit for a bard, not as good as they are for the rogue's Saint of Sinners subclass. The sorcerer's divine soul subclass could be a model for a domain bard that does not use domains, but has to be reworked completely for bards.
