College of Hush -- Bard Subclass (5e)

An enemy general screams orders in the middle of a battle, but no one hears him. Soldiers stumble and hesitate, unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, the bard quietly beats a muted drum. Allies pass unseen through the chaos, casting spells silently. Memory, attention, and sound bend to the bard’s control, leaving the battlefield disoriented and entirely under the silence's subtle dominion.

The College of Hush is a bard subclass built around silence, distraction, and being ignored at the worst (or, in your case, the best!) possible moment. These bards control fights by cutting the sound and throwing off enemy focus; effectively helping allies slip through combat unnoticed.

This subclass is for players who like control and support more than big damage numbers. In my head, this subclass focuses mainly on drums, bells, and other instruments relying on vibrations/'sonic energy' in order to fit the narrative.

Inside, you'll find:

• A fully written, PHB-style Bard subclass
• New ways to use Bardic Inspiration that interfere with enemy reactions, spellcasting, and targeting
• Features focused on silence/perception/you or your allies being 'overlooked'
• A curated spell list (levels 3, 5, 9, 13, and 17; respectively)
