Planar Fortitude

3rd-level College of the Planes feature

As a bonus action, you can spend one use of your Bardic Inspiration, to grant one creature you choose within 30 feet of you, which can be you, to gain damage resistance to one damage type of your choice until the end of your next turn. If the target is a creature summoned by one of your bard spells, it retains the damage resistance for the duration of the spell that summoned it or until you use this feature to grant it a different resistance.

Planar Wisdom

3rd-level College of the Planes feature

You can speak, read, and write two of the following languages: Abyssal, Celestial, Infernal, Primordial, Sylvan. Additionally, you have advantage on Intelligence checks regarding the Inner or Outer Planes and Charisma checks in your interactions with creatures from them.

Summoning Secrets

6th-level College of the Planes feature

You can choose to add one spell from the Summoning Secrets Spells table of a level you can cast spells. You may choose one additional spell when you reach 14th level. Each spell is in the Player’s Handbook, unless it has an asterisk, in which case it is in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, two asterisks, in which case it is in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, or a dagger, in which case it is in Aronar’s Grimoire. Whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Magical Secrets feature, you can replace one of the spells you gained from this feature with a different spell from the Summoning Secrets Spells table.

Superior Binding

14th-level College of the Planes feature

You automatically succeed on saving throws to maintain spells you cast that are on the Summoning Secrets table whenever you take damage. In addition, whenever you cast any spell that conjures or summons one or more creatures, one of those creatures (you choose which) automatically gains one of your Bardic Inspiration dice at no cost to you.
