College of lore
01. Magical discovery works like magic secrets. Cleric wizard and druid spell list. And can replace the choice per level up if you want.
02. Cutting words - works on creatures that are immune to charm.
03. Pureless skill - if you use a BI to add to a skill check but it fails the BI does not get expended.

The silence spell can shut down most bards.

No Paladin spells, no interest. Back to 2017 version for me.

That art though :( such an unfortunate symbolism: a crescent moon on a book is too much parallel to real world religion to be fun
