Traits

Bardic Inspiration (d10, 4/day, Cha recharge on Short Rest)

As a bonus action, gives an ally within 60 ft. a Bardic Inspiration die, usable once within the next hour on an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw.

Spellcasting

Charisma-based spellcaster (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit). Knows a bard's standard spell list; signature spells include Charm Person, Suggestion, Hypnotic Pattern, and Dominate Person (held in reserve, 4th level).

Jack of All Trades

Adds half proficiency bonus (rounded down) to any ability check that doesn't already include his proficiency bonus.

Oud-Bound (Homebrew)

While playing a bonded instrument (such as the Oud of the Worldsong), Elias cannot voluntarily stop performing without succeeding on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of his turns. On a failure, he must continue playing and can take no other action. This trait is inert without such an instrument in hand.

Actions

Action	Attack/DC	Effect
Rapier	+7 to hit	1d8 + 3 piercing
Vicious Mockery (Cantrip)	DC 16 Wis	2d4 psychic damage, disadvantage on next attack roll before Elias's next turn
Suggestion (Spell)	DC 16 Wis	Target follows a reasonable-sounding course of action for up to 8 hours
Discordant Chord (Homebrew, Oud only)	DC 16 Con, 20 ft. radius	3d6 thunder damage (half on save); the ground beneath the radius cracks, becoming difficult terrain
