TRAITS
Encouraging Song: As part of your Short Rest, you can play a song on a musical instrument with which you have proficiency and give Heroic Inspiration to up to two allies who hear your song.

Jack of All Trades: You can add half your Proficiency Bonus (round down) to any ability check you make that uses a skill proficiency you lack and doesn’t otherwise use your Proficiency Bonus.

Resourceful: Gain Heroic Inspiration after Long Rest.

Vocalist Arcanist (3/Long Rest): When you cast a spell that forces a target to make a save or requires you to make a spell attack roll, you can choose to enhance the spell through song. You can wait until after you roll the D20 before deciding to use this, but you must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. When you do so, make a CHA (Performance) check. The DC for this check is equal to 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, your proficiency bonus is doubled for the spell attack roll or your save DC for that casting of the spell.

BONUS ACTIONS
Bardic Inspiration (3D6/Long Rest): You can grant an ally one of your Bardic Inspiration dice. Once within the next hour, if they fail a D20 check, they can roll it and add the result to the check.
