You can use an action to try and charm a creature. The

able to see and hear you. The creature must make a Wisdom

target is charmed. You must concentrate to maintain, this
effect, as if concentrating on a spell.
The target repeats the saving throw after 1 minute to
attempt to end the effect. If the creature’s saving throw is
successful, it is immune to this ability for 24 hours. The effect
ends immediately if the target is attacked or threatened.

INSPIRATION
You can inspire others through stirring words. To do so, you
use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature
other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you.
