Kabuklubağ can use an action to start a performance that lasts until the end of his next turn. Friendly creatures within 30 feet that can hear him have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed. A creature already frightened or charmed can repeat its saving throw with advantage.

Kabuklubağ can inspire an ally who can hear him within 60 feet. As a bonus action, he grants one Bardic Inspiration die, a d8, which the ally can add to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw made within the next 10 minutes.

Kabuklubağ casts a minor magical performance that produces harmless sensory effects, such as a distant chime, a puff of wind, or a brief illusion of glowing motes.

Kabuklubağ creates a floating musical note or other small sensory illusion to distract, signal, or embellish a performance.

Kabuklubağ can add half his proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check that does not already include his proficiency bonus.

Kabuklubağ can use music or oration during a short rest to grant allies who hear him extra hit points when they spend Hit Dice to recover hit points.

Kabuklubağ gains proficiency in three additional skills: Insight, Performance, and Persuasion.

Kabuklubağ chooses two proficient skills, Perception and Performance, to gain expertise in. His proficiency bonus is doubled for ability checks using those skills.

Kabuklubağ can use his reaction to expend one use of Bardic Inspiration and subtract the resulting die roll from a creature's attack roll, ability check, or damage roll within 60 feet that he can see.

Kabuklubağ regains all expended uses of Bardic Inspiration when he finishes a short or long rest.

Kabuklubağ learns two spells from any class, chosen as bard spells for him. These spells count against his number of bard spells known and use Charisma for spellcasting.

Kabuklubağ can secure free passage on sailing ships for himself and his adventuring companions, provided he serves as crew or offers a useful performance. He also knows the general operation of sailing vessels and can identify common nautical hazards.
