Aug 12, 2003 6:36:58 Has anyone tried to build a psi-based bard class for DS based on the 3.5 bard?

I'm thinking about building one for my campaigns. Just use the psywarrior PP progression and stuff and change the power list to one fitting rogue-like characters (i.e. make the DS bard the psyrogue the same way the standard bard is the rogue-sorcerer). And add the alchemy stuff and the elimination of the 5% of misapplying poison for kicks.

Should work nicely, but I'd rather be lazy and use someone else's work :D

Not quite psionic but close. And bear in mind it's only in its first draft.

Aug 18, 2003 14:50:35 I am a fan of DS bards having a psi track instead of spells. I am NOT a fan of giving bards arcane spells, or anything that resembles it. The athasian forces are arcane, divine, or psionic, I don't like adding more versions in.

Look at the back of the tyrian conspiracy module. They list a converted assasin prestige class that uses psionics instead of magic. The psionic list for a bard would obviously be difference, but the principle would be the same. You could use that as a foundation.

Personally, I would like the idea better than the current implementation in DS3 which seems a bit to "rogue-like" for my tastes. It's not a bad class, but I think it would be cooler with a light psionic track. You could also tie in the bard song abilities as a psionic manifestation.
