College of Mockery, Variant[edit]

Bards of the College of Mockery are most quick-witted and contemptuous Bards to have ever roamed the land. Always getting in the last word and roasting unfortunate souls to the point of literal death if they wish. While some may welcome such ludicrously brutal bards into their establishment there are others that would turn them away at the door and call the guard on them.
Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Mockery at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Shields, three languages of your choice, and know the cantrip vicious mockery. This doesn't apply to your number of cantrips known. If you already have this cantrip you may pick another cantrip of your choice from the bard spell list.

Mantle of Mockery

Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to charge your words with a deadly wit and malice as you don this Mantle of Mockery.

As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to grant yourself an aura of jovial spite.

Devious Spite

Also at 6th level, you learn the cantrip message. This doesn't apply to your number of cantrips known.
