Once rolled, the tactics die is lost until you regain it at the start of your next turn. The tactics die disappears when the combat ends.\n\nIf you start your turn and no one has rolled the tactics die, you can trade out the die for a die of the next larger size, such that a d4 becomes a d6, a d6 becomes a d8, and so on, up to a maximum of d12.", "crossreferences": { "to": [] }, "feature_type": "CLASS_LEVEL_FEATURE", "gained_at": [ { "level": 3, "detail": null } ], "data_for_class_table": [] }, { "key": "a5e_talented-tactician_student-of-war", "name": "Student of War", "desc": "At 7th level, choose either Culture, History, or Nature.

For the next 10 minutes, your chosen allies can take theHelp action as a bonus action to help each other. This coordination requires you to maintain concentration (as if concentrating on a spell), and both chosen creatures—the one helping and the one making the ability check—must be within 30 feet of you at the time the ability check is made.\n\nEach turn, you can use your bonus action to change which creatures benefit from the coordination each turn. The skills that can benefit from this feature are Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Stealth, and Survival.\n\nIf you have proficiency in Stealth, this coordination can happen silently via surreptitious signals.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual. Rituals don't count against your known spell total, and they don't use up spell slots.\n\nAt 1st level, choose one ritual from any spell list—Arcane, Divine, Primordial, or Wyrd.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

Each spell you choose must be from a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level as a bard, you can learn one new Arcane spell of 1st or 2nd circle. The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

Each spell you choose must be from a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level as a bard, you can learn one new Arcane spell of 1st or 2nd circle. The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The Magical Secrets feature also lets you learn spells from other sources at certain levels.\n\nIn addition, when you gain a level of bard, you can choose one Arcane spell you know and replace it with another spell of your choice from the Arcane spell list. The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

You don't need to prepare spells ahead of time.\n\nThe Bard Progression table shows how many spells you know and how many Arcane spell slots you have at a given level.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.

The replacement spell must be of a circle for which you have Arcane spell slots.\n\n## Spellcasting Ability\n\nCharisma (CHA) is your spellcasting ability. Your CHA modifier determines the save DC or the attack modifier for certain spells you cast:\n- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus (PB) + your CHA modifier\n\n## Rituals\n\nYou can also cast a type of long-form spell called a ritual.
