# Bard Guslar

WRITTEN RECORDS ARE  
SCARCE in Zamanora, most  
information traveling by word of  
mouth. Alas, in the fleeting nature  
of words and memories, many  
things are changed, twisted, or forgotten. Guslari  
bards take it upon themselves to preserve those  
tales worth telling, the stories of stalwart heroes,  
kind pilgrims, terrible beasts and cunning spirits.  
These intrepid souls travel the land, collecting  
yarns by sight or hearing, and recounting what  
they have heard before. Most Guslari choose to  
formulate these narrations into poems, the verse  
and rhyme making it easier for folk to remember  
and repeat, ensuring that the story lives on for  
another generation.  
EpiC Repertoire  
3rd-level Guslar feature  
At 3rd level, heroic deeds inspire you to compose  
epic poems that impart magical benefits to those  
who listen to them. As part of a long rest after  
a day during which you were witness to such a  
deed, you can compose a poem according to the  
deed’s theme. At the end of each  
of your long rests, you can  
choose a number of  
Bard  
Guslar  
composed poems up to your proficiency bonus  
and prepare them for the day.  
As an action, you may expend a Bardic  
Inspiration to begin reciting a prepared poem  
and inspire your allies. Depending on the  
heroic deed recounted in the poem, you and a  
number of allies up to your Charisma modifier  
(minimum of 1) within 30 feet of you that can  
hear you gain the poem’s corresponding benefits.  
The benefits last for 10 minutes, as long as you  
concentrate on the recital as if concentrating  
on a spell. Consult the Epic Repertoire table to  
determine the  
benefits yielded  
by each poem’s  
theme.

teller of tales  
3rd-level Guslar feature  
Also, at 3rd level, you have learned to entertain the  
masses with a captivating performance. You gain  
proficiency in the Performance skill and the gusle  
musical instrument.  
Additionally, you may take an hour to perform  
for a willing audience that can hear you, reciting  
poems accompanied by the melody of your gusle.  
Roll a Charisma (Performance) check against a  
DC set by the DM, adding a roll of your Bardic  
Inspiration die to the total (this does not expend  
the die). On a success, your Bardic Inspiration die  
therefore counts as 1 category higher (for example,  
a d6 becomes a d8, a d8 becomes a d10, etc.) until  
you finish a long rest. You may use this feature  
once before finishing a long rest.  
Ancestral Heritage  
6th-level Guslar feature  
At 6th level, as you regale heroic deeds of yore,  
friends and foes alike recognize you for the trove  
of folkloric knowledge that you are. Every time  
you expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration to  
start recounting one of your poems, creatures that  
canhear and understand you treat you as if you  
were under the effects of sanctuary for the next  
minute or until you lose concentration on your  
Epic Repertoire feature’s effects. Creatures immune  
to the charmed condition ignore this feature’s  
effects.  
Maker of Legends  
14th-level Guslar feature  
Upon reaching 14th level, when you expend  
a Bardic Inspiration die while maintaining  
concentration on your Epic Repertoire feature’s  
effects, you weave the target ally’s current actions  
into your ongoing tale through improvised lyrics  
and inspire them to strive for heroism. Instead of  
gaining a Bardic Inspiration die as they normally  
would, the ally gains the following benefits until  
the end of their next turn:  
• Immunity to the frightened and charmed  
condition.  
• An amount of temporary hit points equal to a  
roll of your Bardic Inspiration.  
• Each time your ally rolls a 10 or lower on the  
d20, they add a roll of your Bardic Inspiration  
die to the result.  
• Each time your ally deals damage, they deal  
bonus damage equal to a roll of your Bardic  
Inspiration.
