Spellless bard - What to give instead?

[Nifft]

You could cover your armor in bells -- call it "bladegong style" or something. "Chime Mail".

Or you could simply choose to fight an evil race of animanted xylophones (armed with TWF light maces, of course).

Yeah, I thought about it, but no such luck. It doesn't fit the concept.

Maybe I can talk the DM into letting me play my instrument with one hand (innuendo much?) and fight with the other.

Though the xylophone idea is hilarious.

Go all Death Metal (or FLCL) and fight with guitars. Sure, they break every battle, but that's why you cast summon instrument.

There's a reason they call it an axe.

About that modified rogue idea. what if you also got rid of trapfinding and trap sense and evasion and gave him 10+int skill points a level and the ability to use bardic music more than once a day/level.

that or i say just give him 8+int skill points.
Throw in some virtuoso music ability at levels and let him use bardic music 2 times day/level


do either of those sound remotely balanced?


P.S. i may be overpowering them a bit but i have seen some nasty bards and almost all were that nasty because of thier spells
