[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 179160, member: 2013"] At the risk of sounding like I'm tooting my own horn, I think my Enchiridion of Mystic Music fits his niche perfectly (BTW, thanks for the plug, Jason/Hellhound :) ). The main thrust of the book (it's over 70 pages) is vastly expanding the bard's arsenal of musical abilities through Feats and (mostly) adding new musical options... instead of just Countersong, Fascinate, Inspire Courage, Inspire Confidence, Suggestion, Inspire Greatness (6 abilities), this book opens up a total of 84 options(!) - the bard's music suddenly can do a LOT more (to the tune of 14 times as much). Is 84 options with his music ability enough for you? ;) It is done in a totally modular fashion - while it may not be as revolutionary as Monte's bard in BoEM2, it can be slapped right into an existing campaign with exactly zero work on converting an existing bard character. :) There are three 10-level Prestige Classes (one of which comes from Librum Equitis 1 - thanks, Jason!) and three 5-level Prestige Classes. Mix in about a dozen Feats (many of which tie into music) and a couple of "extras" (to fill out the music abilities and make the book totally self-sufficient). So he gets 6 prestige classes devoted to bard types. If you're curious to see more, check out: [url]http://www.cooleys.org/publishing/[/url] You can find the table of contents (free sneak peak) at the "Downloads" link on top. You might note that the Table of Contents Entry for "Mystic Music Abilities" is page 34. The next entry is page 60. That's... lemmee see... 26 pages of crunchy bits on the music abilities alone! The book itself is in the "available products" link - you may purchase it from RPGNow for the modest price of $5 for instant gratification. I of course hope both you and your player will like what you see. :) --Spencer "The Sigil" Cooley S.T. Cooley Publishing [/QUOTE]
