The College of Anarchy is less a place and more a state of mind. It is a rejection of oppressive governments, of soulless megacorporations, and of anyone trying to control you. It’s a statement of revolution against 'The Man,' and all it represents.
Bards of this college are loud, rebellious, and unapologetically defiant. The image of a punk rocker with a colorful mohawk and glowing LED tattoos is iconic, but rebellion can take root in anyone. Their motivation for revolution is their own, fueled by their desire to see everything come crumbling down.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join the College of Anarchy at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with martial firearms. You can use a firearm as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
Superstar
At 3rd level, you can use the Bardic Inspiration feature on any creature you can see or hear, and who can see or hear you, regardless of range. This includes creatures that can hear or see you through digital means, such as cameras or smartphones.
Rebellious Shout
At 3rd level, you learn how to channel your powerful free will into your voice. As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to use one of the following Rebellious Shout options. If the target is unwilling, it can make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC.
-
Rise Up: The creature regains hit points equal to the Bardic Inspiration die + your Charisma modifier and is pulled up to 10 feet closer to you. If the creature is prone, it can use its reaction to stand up. A creature can only benefit from this effect once per short or long rest.
-
Fuck Off: The creature takes thunder damage equal to the Bardic Inspiration die + your Charisma modifier. If the creature is Large or smaller, it is pushed up to 10 feet away from you.
-
Get Lost: The creature is frightened until the end of your next turn and deafened for 1 minute.
Revolution
At 6th level, you can speak up when someone is being oppressed and harden their resolve. As a reaction, when a creature within 30 feet makes a saving throw against being frightened or charmed, you can start a Countercharm performance, giving that creature advantage on the saving throw as part of the performance.
Loudspeaker
At 14th level, your voice becomes an unstoppable force of anarchy. When you use your Rebellious Shout, you can also target creatures of your choice within 10 feet of your original target. Additionally, when you roll a Bardic Inspiration die as part of your Rebellious Shout, you can roll an additional Bardic Inspiration die and add it to the result.
