Level 3: Chilling Melody

You learn two Necromancy cantrips of your choice. These count as Bard spells for you but don’t count against the number of cantrips you know.

Level 3: Pluck the Heartstrings

Your Bardic Inspiration can pluck at the tethers of life. Each creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you can use it for one of the following effects.

Defense. When the creature is reduced to 0 Hit Points and not killed outright, the creature can roll the Bardic Inspiration die to be reduced to a number of Hit Points rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die instead.

Offense. Immediately after the creature hits a target with an attack roll, the creature can roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled as extra Necrotic damage dealt by the attack.

Level 6: Stir the Bones

You always have the Animate Dead spell prepared. It counts as a Bard spell for you.

When you expend a use of Bardic Inspiration, choose Undead creatures under your control within 60 feet of yourself, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). The chosen creatures each gain a Bardic Inspiration die. These extra Bardic Inspiration dice do not count against your limit.

When an Undead creature under your control expends a Bardic Inspiration die on an attack roll, it can also add the number rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die to the attack’s damage roll if that attack hits.

Level 14: Dual Death

When you cast a Necromancy spell that targets only one creature, you can have it target a second creature within range.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by expending one use of your Bardic Inspiration dice (no action required).
