I was wanting a class that is similar to the Bard, who inspires others to greatness. However, unlike the bard who uses music I want someone who inspires greatness by force of will and strength of character. Such as Paladin on the front line who energizes those around him.
So, I was considering what changes I could make and would like some input.
Bard Class:
Increase Hit Die to d10.
Replace Perform with Diplomacy (?)
Bardic Music becomes Instill Greatness, usable same number
of times per day.
Inspire Courage, Fascinate, Inspire Competence, Suggestion,
and Inspire Greatness are kept but Countersong is lost.
Spellcasting is lost.
Skills are same as those of the Paladin.
Bardic Knowledge is lost.
So, what do you think? Too weak? Too strong? I'm leaning towards too weak, but how to even it out? Bonus feats? If so, how many?
Perhaps it should be a prestige class?
