Alternate Bard - Alpha Update (Patreon)

Hey all, 

Back again with some tweaks to the Alternate Bard that I hope you'll all enjoy! 

Trying my best to carve out a truly unique identity for the class here without going down the PF2e route of "Bard Invocations" - doing that would require poaching the unique uses for Bardic Inspiration that come with all the subclasses.

____________________________

Bardic Inspiration. If this is going to be the core resource of the Bard it needed to scale much harder. Now you have a number of uses equal to your Bard level + your Charisma modifier per long rest. Is this too many? I don't think so!

Folk Expertise. In an effort to preserve the identity of the Rogue, and encourage you to single-class Bard, you now gain a bonus to these skill checks equal to a roll of your Bardic Inspiration die. This type of feature was received very well with my other Alternate Martial classes (particularly in my Alt Fighter Archetypes).

Font of Inspiration. A new feature that gives you even more uses of Bardic Inspiration when you short rest.

Fool Tradition. Added vicious mockery back in here (it worked too well to keep it away!), and reworked their 5th-level feature.

Loremaster Tradition. Did away with the CHA mod free uses of Cutting Words. With the increased number of Bardic Inspiration uses their Folklore feature is going to carry a lot more weight.

As always, I'm interested to hear what you think!
