Lovely Subclasses is a short holiday supplement that provides expanded optional features for the "Bard: College of Romance " and "Cleric: Love Domain ", as well as two new subclasses: the Circle of Passion (Druid) and the Cherub Patron (Warlock)!
Whether preparing for a Valentines oneshot, or looking for a love-inspired subclass for your regular character, Lovely Subclasses has what you're looking for!!
Bard: College of Romance
Bards almost always get a reputation for being oversexual, and whether genuine or not, very romantic. These bards take their romance to a whole new level, the ins and outs of romancing a potential partner. Some of these bards follow this path because they can't deny that they are simply a hopeless romantic. Then there are some who study this college in order to better manipulate the people around them.
The College of Romance teaches its students how to properly lean into their charisma, and that outer beauty is only one part of the complicated process of romance and seduction.
Take this subclass if you want your bard to be the best they can be at using roleplay and charisma to get what they want. Avoid this subclass if you're looking for a bard that focuses on combat.
Eye of the Beholder
At 3rd level you gain proficiency in the Deception and Persuasion, and receive a +2 bonus to these skills. If you already have proficiency in any of these skills, you can double your proficiency bonus for those skill checks.
Cupid's Guidance
Also at 3rd level you can grant your allies a bonus to their Charisma based skill check as a reaction equal to your proficiency bonus, as long as you are within 30 feet of them.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), and require a long rest to reuse this feature.

Hopeless Romantic
At 6th level, you're driven by romance. Anytime that you or an ally within 10 feet of you fails a Charisma based skill check or saving throw, the check or save can be rerolled but the new result must be used even if it's lower than the first.
Infatuating Dance (Optional)
This 6th level feature replaces the Hopeless Romantic feature. You may use your Action to make a Performance (Dance) check, and force one humanoid within 30 feet who can see you to make a Charisma saving throw against your Performance check.
