College of Glamour  subclass (pointer)
College of Glamour is a bard college of the Bard class.

The College of Glamour traces its origins to the beguiling magic of the Feywild. The Bards who study this magic weave threads of beauty and terror into their songs and stories, and the mightiest among them can cloak themselves in otherworldly majesty. Their performances stir up wistful longing for forgotten innocence, evoke unconscious memories of long-held fears, and tug at the emotions of even the most hardhearted listeners.

Design Note: College of Glamour Updates

 Here are the main updates in this subclass since its appearance in Xanathar's Guide to Everything:

• Mantle of Inspiration now grants a number of Temporary Hit Points determined by a roll of Bardic Inspiration.
• Beguiling Magic, formerly Enthralling Performance, has been redesigned to focus on enhancing your Enchantment and Illusion spells.
• Mantle of Majesty now ensures you always have the Command spell prepared, and you can restore your use of the feature by expending a spell slot of 3rd level or higher.
• Unbreakable Majesty now triggers on a creature hitting you and can negate the hit.
