A really insightful analysis of how bard colleges are designed in the core rules, including the step-by-step creation of two example colleges. Said colleges - the gambler-focused College of Chance and the juggler-focused College of Hands - are both pretty solid as well, with the College of Chance being my pick of the two. The only notable downside to this product is some formatting issues, most notably missing text on the page for 14th-level features, but this doesn't take away from the product's usefulness. (Also worth noting: this product was originally PWYW, but is no longer as of this review.)

If you want to build a subclass for 5e then you really should start by reading these guides, I know I do. Immense time saver that lets you dive into crafting without having to spend hours researching first! no brainer as pwyw but please do consider sending some money Metthew's way, he deserves it :)

Just like the other "Create-A-Subclass" guides made by the creator, it's simultaneously a series of useful tips for creating your own homebrew Bard College, and two very well-made homebrew Bard Colleges to serve as examples. Even if you're not interested in homebrewing your own Bard College, the examples make it worth picking up anyway.
