Bardic College of Tragedy

Bards of the College of Tragedy are intimately familiar with the immense hardships of a fickle world… but they have also witnessed the strength and beauty that blooms in the wake of loss. Rarely gregarious performers living for the spotlight, they are more likely to be quiet observers, composing heartrending ballads or contemplative poems and saving them for when they will have the greatest impact.

The College of Tragedy is a Bard subclass for 5^th edition Dungeons & Dragons. If you enjoy engaging in roleplay with NPCs and bolstering your allies in combat, this subclass is for you! Inspired by ancient Greek tragic theatre and the myth of Orpheus, this subclass was originally published in 2020 as part of the platinum bestselling Heroes & Villains of Theros, but is suitable for any official or homebrew setting.

In addition to the beautifully laid out, full colour subclass entry, this PDF includes a printer-friendly version, so you can get the information from the screen to your table quickly and easily.
