There is no game mechanical alteration, nothing especially fantastical about them, other than that their Verbal components are always chanting (and that I will not take the Silent Casting feat ever). I would use Bard, but I see Chanters casting "real magic", not trickster stuff, more like the epic wizards of celtic myth and less like roguish jack-of-all-trade casters.Oriphanes was born the son of a mediocre Chanter, and spent most of his youth in a set of shallow caves near the quiet town Endmeet. Although living in a cave doesn't sound pleasant, they were easily as well furnished and comfortable as a tower might have been, and more defensible. His father constantly ensured that Oriphanes was either practicing chants, studying the scrolls, or socializing with the townsfolk - he wanted Oriphanes to be the Chanter he never was, and he constantly trained the youth toward that end.For his part, Oriphanes was more fascinated by the performance side of things, and were it not for his father's eagle eyes, would have barely learned magic at all. Still, his youth was often spent chanting epic poems rather than spells, and happily considering the merits of when and where to introduce a particular villain. When his father died of age, however, something changed. Although no sacred oath was sworn, Oriphanes began dedicating himself more thoroughly to magic, and took up the mantle of adventurer... for almost every great mage in history, Chanter or otherwise, had started as such. And Oriphanes planned to do his father proud.</blockquote>
