The character has divinely learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality with the harmony of their music. Their spells are part of their vast repertoire of abilities that they can tune to different situations.
Cantrips
The character knows two Cantrips of their choice from the Skald spell list. They learn an additional Skald cantrip of their choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Bard table.
Spell Slots
The Bard table shows how many Spell Slots the Skald has to cast their Skald spells, they must expend a spell slot of the spell's level or higher. They regain their highest expended Spell Slot after completing a Short Rest and all their Spell Slots after completing a Long Rest.
Spells Known at 1st-Level and Higher
The character knows a number of spells equal to their Wisdom Modifier + Skald Level. Each of these spells known must be of a level for which the Skald has a Spell Slot, as shown in the Bard Table. As the Skald gains levels in this class, they can choose one of the Skald spells they already know and replace it with another spell from the Skald spell list, which also must be of a level for which they have a Spell Slot.
Spell Casting Ability
Charisma is the Skald's Spell Casting Ability (SCA) for their spells. Their magic comes from the heart and soul they pour into their performance of their music or chanting. They use their Charisma whenever a spell refers to their SCA. In addition, they use their Charisma Modifier when setting their Save DC for Skald spells they cast and when making an Attack roll with one.
..... Save DC = 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Charisma Modifier
..... Spell Attack Modifier = Proficiency Bonus + Charisma Modifier
Ritual Casting
The character can cast any Skald spell they know as a Ritual if that spell has the Ritual tag.
Spell Casting Focus
The Skald can use a Musical Instrument or their Holy Symbol as a Spell Casting Focus for their Skald spells.

The character can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, they use a Bonus Action on their turn to choose one creature, other than themselves, within 60 feet of them who can hear them. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration Die (BID)(d6).
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll that die and add the number rolled to one Ability check, Attack roll, or Saving Throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 but before deciding to use the BID, but must decide to use the GM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the BID is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one BID at any given time.
The character can use this Feature a number of times equal to their Charisma Modifier (a minimum of once). The character regains one expended use when they finish a Short Rest. The BID changes when the character reaches certain levels in this class. The BID becomes a d8 at 5th-Level, a d10 at 10th-Level, and a d12 at 15th-Level.

At 2nd level, the character's healing spells are more effective. Whenever they use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, including themselves, the creature regains additional hit points equal to their Wisdom Modifier + the Spell's Level

At 2nd level, the character can use a Musical Chant to help revitalize their wounded allies. The character uses a Bardic Inspiration and starts Chanting, which can be interrupted, and at the beginning of their Next Turn every ally that was within 60 feet during the entire previous Turn and could hear the Chant regains 1d6 + Charisma Modifier in hit points. The hit point die used to regain hit points increases when the character reaches certain levels in this Class: to 1d8 at 9th-Level, to 1d10 at 13th level, and to 1d12 at 17th level.

At 3rd-Level the character gains the following bonus proficiencies : Medium Armor, Shields, and Martial Weapons.
Also they learn to inspire others in battle. Any creature that has a BID from the character may use roll that die and add the number to a weapon's damage roll they just made. Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the creature and hits, they may use their Reaction to roll the BID and add the number rolled to their AC against that attack.

At 3rd level, the character choose two of their Proficiencies that they have with either skills or tools. Their proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check they make that uses either of those chosen Proficiencies. At 10th level, they can choose a different two Proficiencies they have to gain this benefit

At 4th level the character can increase one Ability Score of their choice by 2, or they can increase two Ability Scores of their choice by 1. An Ability Score cannot be increased above 20 using this feature. Conversely instead of gaining the Ability Score Improvement they may opt to take a Feat instead. This happens again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level.

At 5th level, the character regains all of their expended uses of Bardic Inspiration when they complete a Short Rest.

Combat Inspiration : At 6th level, the character can attack twice, instead of just once, whenever they take the Attack Action on their turn.

At 6th level, any healing spells the character casts on others will heal them as well. When they cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points to another creature, other than themselves, they regain hit points equal to Wisdom Modifier + the Spell's Level

At 10th level, the character gains the ability to infuse their weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of their turns as a Bonus Action when they hit a creature with a weapon attack, they can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 Radiant (aka Necromantic-Positive) damage to that target. When they reach 14th level this damage increases to 2d8.

Battle Magic : At 14th level, the character has mastered the art of weaving spell casting with weapon use into a single harmonious act. When they use their Action to Cast a Skald spell, they can make, as a Bonus Action, one weapon attack.

At 18th level, the character gains resistance to Bash, Pierce, and Slash damage from non-magical weapons.

At 20th level, when the character rolls initiative and have no uses of Bardic Inspiration left, they regain one use.

At 2nd level, the character's healing spells are more effective. Whenever they use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, including themselves, the creature regains additional hit points equal to their Wisdom Modifier + the Spell's Level
