Contents
Bard is one of several possible subclasses you can undertake as an opportunist.
Your subclass enacts features at 3rd level and every three levels thereafter: 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 18th. See Opportunist#Bard for an integrated list that combines bard features with those of the base opportunist class.
Bardic Knowledge
At 3rd level, you become an expert on all Intelligence ability checks made to recall lore.
As an expert, you add a bonus die to relevant ability checks. The size of this die depends on your proficiency bonus: d4 for +2, d6 for +3, d8 for +4, d10 for +5, and d12 for +6.
Bardic Performance
At 3rd level, you become an expert in the Performance skill and in one musical instrument of your choice.
Bardic Songs
At 6th level, your bardic music becomes so enrapturing and powerful that it begins to influence the world like magic. You learn up to X spells from the bard spell list, which you call songs. You play a bard song (cast a bard spell) by playing music using both hands, and can only continue to concentrate while you use both hands to continue playing. If at any point your hand becomes otherwise occupied, your concentration on a bard song ends.
Cantrips
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the bard spell list.
Spellcasting Ability
Swift Aid
You're always ready to encourage and aid your allies. Starting from 9th level you can use your cunning action to Help if you don't also use your primary action to Help.
