✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download count (62,619) shows real interest in a healing Bard.
- Fills a niche for players who want a Bard healer without multiclassing.
- Simple concept — easy to understand and integrate into a campaign.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 83 endorsements compared to downloads — could be a sign of mixed reception.
- Last updated June 2025 — may not be updated for newer rulebooks or errata.
For D&D 5e players who love Bards but want a dedicated healing role, similar to a Life Cleric. If you're a DM looking for a balanced homebrew option for a player who wants to be the party's main healer, this could work. Skip if you prefer official subclasses or want a Bard that does more than heal.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check with your DM before using homebrew content — they may have rules about third-party subclasses.
- Since this is a subclass, make sure you're using the correct class progression when you pick it at 3rd level.
- If you're playing on a virtual tabletop, you may need to manually add the subclass features to your character sheet.
