===Design Note: College of Lore Updates===
<ref name="ua23phpt6" />&nbsp;Here are the main updates in this subclass since its last playtest version:
* '''Bonus Proficiencies''' has gone back to allowing any skill to be chosen.
* '''Cutting Words''' can once more reduce damage. The damage reduction was absent in the previous Bard playtest because of the nowremoved healing option in Bardic Inspiration.
* '''Magical Discoveries''', formerly called Additional Magical Secrets, has returned, and it now allows you to replace one of the chosen spells each time you gain a Bard level.
* '''Peerless Skill''' now benefits both ability checks and attack rolls, not just ability checks.
