Bonus Proficiencies

3rd-level College of Bombast feature

You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill and with medium armor, shields, and one-handed melee martial weapons.

You can use a one-handed melee weapon as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.

Taunting Barb

3rd-level College of Bombast feature

As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your bardic inspiration to target one creature within 30 feet of you that can see or hear you. The target must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you and can take the Dash action as a bonus action, provided it uses all of its speed to reach you. On a successful save, you regain the use of your bardic inspiration.

When the target hits you with an attack, roll the bardic inspiration die and subtract the number rolled from the damage you take (minimum of 1 damage). The effect lasts for 10 minutes or until the target deals damage to you or you use this feature again.

Extra Attack

6th-level College of Bombast feature

You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Prickling Barb

14th-level College of Bombast feature

While a creature is under the effects of your Taunting Barbs feature, opportunity attacks against it have advantage. In addition, whenever the target of your Taunting Barbs feature attacks any creature, you can make one opportunity attack against it, provided it is within your reach.
