You learn to create magical masks, each of which allows you to take on a different persona and gain some aspect of that archetypal character.
Persona Masks
You gain 3 masks of your choice from the "Persona Masks" section later in this subclass's description. You gain an additional mask at Bard level 6 (4 masks) and Bard level 14 (5 masks). You can exchange one of your masks for another one whenever you finish a Long Rest.
Wearing a Mask
You can put on a mask or switch the mask you are wearing as a Bonus Action. Only you can gain the effects of your masks.
Replacing a Mask
If one of your masks is lost or stolen, you can remake the mask over the course of 8 hours, which can be done during a Long Rest.
