Fey charm and battlefield repositioning with temporary HP

Feature	Level	Description
Mantle of Inspiration	3rd	As bonus action, spend Bardic Inspiration to give up to 5 allies 5+bard level temp HP and free movement without opportunity attacks.
Enthralling Performance	3rd	After 1 minute of performing, charm humanoids in 60ft who fail WIS save for 1 hour.
Mantle of Majesty	6th	Cast Command as bonus action without slots while concentrating on unearthly appearance for 1 minute. Once per long rest.
Unbreakable Majesty	14th	As bonus action, gain majestic presence for 1 minute. First attack against you each turn requires CHA save or must target someone else and wastes attack on failure.

Common Mistake

Forgetting Mantle of Inspiration lets allies move without provoking opportunity attacks

Common Mistake

Not using Enthralling Performance for social infiltration and manipulation

Common Mistake

Overlooking that Mantle of Majesty's Command doesn't use concentration (the appearance does)

DM Tip

Glamour Bards excel at repositioning the party mid-combat

DM Tip

Enthralling Performance is excellent for social encounters

DM Tip

Unbreakable Majesty at 14th makes them very hard to focus down
