## Bardic Scout
<u>***Creator:*** *Kriothan*</u><br>
The Scout who chooses to become a Bard focus primarily on keeping the spirits and morale of their allies high and well. Buffing them when able through the use of music, and performing incredible bouts of inspiration.

#### Superior Music
Beginning at 3rd Level you learn maneuvers that are fueled by a special dice called Superiority Dice.

***Maneuvers:*** You learn three maneuvers of your choice, which are detailed in the Bardic Maneuvers section at the end of this subclass. You earn more at higher levels as shown in the “Maneuvers Known” column of the Bardic table. You can only use one maneuver per turn. When you take a long rest, you may switch one maneuver you know for another you qualify for.

 ***Superiority Dice:*** You have three superiority dice, which are d8’s, you earn more at higher levels, as shown in the Superiority Dice column of the Superior Surveillance table. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.

> **All the Maneuvers from this subclass count as Genjutsu with the Auditory keyword only for the purpose of interacting with this subclass' features.**

#### Bardic Instrumental
Starting at 3rd level, you have hand created an item to channel your bardic abilities through. An **Instrument**, choose one instrument from the following list, you cannot use your maneuvers from this subclass unless you use this item. If you ever lose or your Instrument is destroyed, you can recreate it by spending 300 ryo over the course of a short rest.

Additionally, when you cast a Genjutsu with the Auditory keyword you may replace any needed Handsign components with a Material (**Instrument**) component, and increase the damage dice used by +1, or if it doesn't have dice, add +1 to its save DC. This increases to +2 at 11th level.
<br>
<br>
**Bardic Instruments:** Flute, Violin, Guitar, Microphone, Drum, etc.

#### Peloton
Starting at 3rd level, while out of combat increase all allies movement speed by their base movement speed as long as they're within 60 feet of you. 

Additionally, If used during exploration or land travel, you treat normal travel pace as Fast travel pace, and you double Fast travel paces distances.
```
```

#### Pitch Perfect
Beginning at 6th level, when casting a Jutsu or using a Maneuver that has your **Instrument** as a component, you can apply an additional effect on a number of allies equal to your Genjutsu ability modifier known as **Inspired**, creatures who have this effect can add a dice to any Skill Check, Saving Throw, or Attack Roll equal to half the result of your superiority die without expending your dice, once per casting of this jutsu or maneuver. You can apply this condition a number of times equal to your Genjutsu ability modifier per rest.

Additionally, when an ally who is **Inspired** uses your superiority dice and succeeds a saving throw or skill check as a result of the bonus, you regain one superiority dice.

#### The Wanderer's Minuet
Starting at 9th level, you can use two Maneuvers in one turn, and when you cast a Genjutsu with the **Song** prefix, allies gain additional benefits for the duration of the jutsu. You may only use this feature while concentrating on one jutsu with the **Song** at a time.

- Increase critical threat range by +1 while within the aura.

- You no longer have to spend a bonus action to keep concentration active, but must instead pay the chakra for concentration.

- They may change one jutsu's casting time from an Action to a Bonus Action, once per casting of this jutsu.

Additionally, all Genjutsu with the Auditory keyword has an amount of cost reduction equal to its rank. **(D-Rank = 1, C-Rank = 2, B-Rank = 3, A-Rank = 4, S-Rank = 5)**.

#### Soul Voice
Beginning at 14th level, continuing your practice with music, you have increased the buff of those who are affected by your song. Creatures who are **Inspired** may use the full result of your superiority dice when rolling for Skill Checks, Saving Throws, and Attack Rolls. Additionally they gain the following benefits while **Inspired.**

- When effected by a jutsu that Heals, grants Temporary Hit Points, or Chakra, increase the amount gained by one Superiority Dice, once per turn.

- When reduced to zero hit points, they may spend the Superiority Dice they have left to regain an amount of HP and Chakra equal to your Genjutsu Modifier, times your Proficiency. This effect can only activate once per long rest on each creature who is **Inspired**.


#### Nature's Minne
Starting at 17th level, for the duration of any jutsu you cast with the Auditory keyword or Maneuver you use in this subclass, you may apply the inverse effects to an amount of creatures equal to your Genjutsu modifier within the radius.

#### Radiant Finale
Finally at 20th level, as an action, for the next minute you can begin the performance of your **Final Ballad**, you gain an additional Bonus Action used for only casting Maneuvers. You may cast any Maneuver in this subclass without spending a superiority die using it's listed action economy. Each Maneuver must have a unique name to use this feature. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Genjutsu Modifier per long rest.
