Sorry, a Fiddler to me needs to have some sort of explosive munition (see Moranth) expertise...

Beaten to the punch I see. Creating a fiddler better than Fiddler would be a momentous achievement.

Every single class can take the Entertainer background to be able to fiddle. Likewise, every single class can kick butt in combat. So, pretty much whatever you take, you can make your character concept work.

 

[Wednesday Boy]

Fey seems to go well with the music aspects.

Good call. The character could have some sort of connection to the fiddle-playing grigs.

Another fun example of bards and magic looks to be Kubo and the Two Strings coming in August. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4-6qJzeb3A&index=2&list=PLISrtAJ0wX5kdkXOd5WdGi1WqtfDrUiV8

A Warlock fiddler, marvellous...

"And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold,
But if you lose the devil gets your soul."

Exactly what I was thinking! A Warlock Fiddler could take inspiration from The Devil Went Down to Georgia

 

[Ancalagon]

Warlock fiddler would be fun

But really, with the entertainer background, you could be *any* class and fiddle...

The character Fiddler was a sapper - a soldier who specialized in the use of Morranth munition, alchemical explosives essentially. He also had an inborn tallent to use the Deck of Dragons (think fantasy tarot) to do divination.
