We have a new UA release with two subclasses. The College of Spirits Bard is a fortune teller or spirit medium type character with a big random effect table. Meanwhile the Undeath Pact Warlock is a a do-over of the Undying Pact Warlock.
YES!I like the theme of the Spirits Bard a lot.
I would prefer the tales to be out of combat uses of inspiration. Let it be a 10 minute story resulting in a small party buff based on the roll.
The 6th level feature is very weak. Limit it to 3rd level spells or lower and let them cast it 1/day for free.
Yes, while in the Form of Dread. At 6th level that's 3 minutes per day.
IKf you think that's too strong, how about if the extra die was a flat bonus? like d6?
Turning all of your eldritch blasts into 2d10+Cha for a minimum of 3 combats a day is super strong, especially when you get into a higher level sorcerer combos. This should be one die per round, tops.
I'm guessing her name is also Rose?
So part of the playtest is to see if this class archetype avoids ethnic race-bating?

The crystal ball and tarot cards might be a bit too on the nose for Romantic Era "gypsy" stereotypes.
Otherwise it seems ethnically neutral. It could be a Twilight Zone episode from any ethnicity.
The fiction becomes real, or the story summons the spirit, or speaking the name, seem widespread (maybe universal?) tropes.
I like the fact that "spirit" includes any magical creature: fey, giants, dragons, angels, fiends, etcetera. Maybe include elementals too.
Maybe expand the options of divination methods to include other cultures as well?
