okay, i have a character and i have an idea for a class to fit the character just right. but i need to home brew it for it to work. the person i would normally turn to is offline atm so i need help elsewhere and some thoughts and ideas would be great.
heres the class idea: an arcane dancer. basically like a bard but using music and dancing to help her powers.
i suppose i should explain a bit about the character to help understand what im going for.
you see the character is basically a magical experimentation, she is living, but she's been infused with magic. this has its own side effects. having powers that she does the problem is she cannot learn any form of magic, her powers are her's and she is limited to what the infused magic can do. that said she has sound based powers mainly (i think that would be thunder right?) most of her powers come from her hands, the palms. she also has the ability to make music magically her body glows and the music sort of plays from it.
generally from what i can think it should probably be LIKE a bard, but the ability scores should be different. her DEX should be more important then for normal bards. im still thinking CHA main but probably DEX side.
i think she should be a leader/controler probably leader first controler second.
one of her focuses should be an aura (the music she plays) probably making it like the skald's aura if not just streight copying it. i kinda wanted a more original way for her to heal people but i dont know how to go about that. so if that dosnt work just slap the skald's aura on her and that would work fine.
most of her passive abilities should revolve around modifying the aura (song)
pretty much all of her attack abilities should be thunder based (sound based)
i actually like the idea of pushing targets and maneuvering around the battle field and would like to incorporate that. like the staggering note i think is a good at will for her. just as a point.
i kinda wana think about incorporating something special. like taking the staggering note, one of the things she should be able to do is actually basically leap around the battle feild. now i was certain that, that would be an acrobatics check (though it might be athletics in which case that would be lame) but basically lets say she decides to jump over someone, and lets say for the sake of argument, that during this jump she staggering notes a target below her. i kinda thought it would be interesting to say that what would happen would be that it would prone the target and push her upwards (making her land a few more feet away then she would have originally) its just a thought.
i really hope this is an appropriate thing to bring up here. if its not i apologize and you can go ahead and lock the thread ^_^;
