Magic-Laced Songs: Starting at 3rd level, when you cast a concentration spell that doesn't have a range of self or touch, you may instead weave the spell into a chant, song or hymn. At the end of each of your turns, each valid creature within 5 feet of you that can hear you experiences the effect of the spell. When you use a spell of 1st level or higher with this feature, increase the distance that creatures are affected by 5 feet per spell level.

Speech of Epics: At 6th level, when you use your Bardic Inspiration, you may instead choose to inspire a number of creatures that can hear you, up to your proficiency modifier.

Improved Magic-Laced Songs: Beginning at 14th level, you can use spells with a range of self with your Magic-Laced Songs feature.

...from the thread name, I was expecting something with Warlock-style features.

If anything, I'd let you choose to inspire a number of creatures up to your proficiency bonus within either the normal range (60 feet) or half that (30 feet). To put a hard limit on the number of creatures you can give bardic inspiration this way.

So, "At 6th level, when you use your Bardic Inspiration, you may choose a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus within 30 feet. Each of these creatures gains a bardic inspiration die as normal. This expends only one use of your bardic inspiration." Or something along those lines.

So was I. So was I... :smallfrown:

Agreed.


I also propose changing the name of the subclass to 'College of Song' or 'College of Music'.


Edit: @ Yunru - I was looking over your Magical Girl School archetype, and I honestly feel that you should add a 'While transformed' qualifier to the archetype features.

Name change, and a rework to Speech of Epics.

Looks great. Slight typo of "hear up," though.
