College of Arrows

When you join the College of Arrows at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with shortbows and light crossbows. If you're proficient with a simple or martial ranged weapon, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.

At 3rd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

• Archery
• Close Quarters Shooter

At 3rd level, you learn to execute special shots with your incredible shooting skills.

Whenever you take the Attack action on your turn and hit a target with a ranged weapon attack, you can use one of the following Trick Shot options of your choice. You can only use one Trick Shot option per turn.

Astonishing Shot.If the target is an archery object such as a target ring, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to make a Dexterity (Performance) check and use that result in place of the attack roll. You also add a bonus to the roll equal to the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die.

Binding Shot. If the target is a creature, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the arrow to deal extra damage to the target and halve its speed until the end of its next turn. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die.

Dazing Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the arrow to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die, and the next attack roll against the target before the start of your next turn gains a bonus equal to the roll.

Richochet Shot. You can expend one of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the arrow to deal extra damage to the target you hit and to one creature you can see within 10 feet of the original target. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die.

Spell Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cast a spell through your arrow to the target. The spell must have a range of touch, have a casting time of 1 action, and cannot deal damage.

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Starting at 14th level, whenever you use a Trick Shot option that deals extra damage, you can roll a d6 and use it instead of expending a Bardic Inspiration die.
