Notes

• The charm effect does not protect against various Multiattack abilities. It charms the attacker after the first hit of the multiattack but this does not prevent the subsequent attacks in the sequence. It works properly against enemies making multiple separate attacks through  Extra Attack or similar effects.
• The healing effect of the  Cap of Curing does not trigger when using this variant of Bardic Inspiration.
• Granting temporary hit points also does not count as providing healing so it does not trigger effects like  The Whispering Promise.
• This action can target Bard themselves.
