    Default College of Eloquence Bard OP?

    I just happened to come across the UA College of Eloquence Bard, and it looks like a character that I've been trying to build for quite a while. Not to mention the actual abilities look awesome. I'm curious if anyone has read it for balance, or better yet played it at all. It seems like it might be a bit overpowered, with the main problem being the ability to impose disadvantage on up to five saving throws per short rest starting at level six.

    Any opinions?

    I tend to think most UA's are at least a little over powered. They tend to get dialed back a bit before print.

    It's an int save to have disadvantage on another save. It's not overpowered, but it is finicky.
