You're still buffing your party, so your fighter will feel like a cool kid, and you'll get to see things melt. That's +12d6 fire damage/hit from Inspire Courage. (base +3, with Vest of Legends, +3 from Inspirational Boost, Song of the Heart, Badge of Valour, all doubled by Words of Creation.)īy level 9, you give everybody +12 to damage, and +12 to hit.īut if that's not your thing, take Dragonfire Inspiration. If you can swing the feats, and somehow get Words of Creation approved (you probably won't), you can pretty much have an Inspire Courage boost of +12 by level 9. The classic thing to do is to optimize Inspire Courage. You have a lot of other options as a Bard-the beauty of being a Bard is the fact that they have a ridiculous amount of splatbook support. Sublime Chord is entirely an option, if you want to be a bardic caster. That could be up to +9 to hit, +9d4 - not too shabby.įinally, the book Song and Silence has a lot of Bard stuff, like making bardic music affect plants or undead, or last twice as long, or simply gain 4 extra uses of bardic music.

Further, it has Arcane Strike, which might be nice if you find yourself a bit too close to the baddies: sacrifice a spell, get +1 to hit and +1d4 damage for each level the spell had. Or at least, that's what you tell everyone in the Inn.Īlso, the feats Master Manipulator and Combat Panache (player's handbook 2) offer some not really min/max-y, but fun utility for a Bard's high social skills.Īlso Also, Complete Adventurer has 3 feats that give you more bardic music options, such as giving an ally (or yourself) DR 5/-, or all allies Diehard, or casting a spell you know. And, as it gives 1/2 BAB and a d6, you are fully capable of backhanding that senile old wizard when he gets crabby.

Or song of cosmic fire, which is ok blasting.īasically, you're the party wizard. Or the song of timelessness, which causes an opponent to be frozen for as long as you perform, up to 1 minute per level. You can use the song of arcane power to give yourself a CL boost. It gets Bardic Music and Lore progression.Īnd it gets bardic songs.
